  “This is a hidden gem in Angel that feels worlds away from the busy streets outside. The **quirky interiors** are a visual feast, featuring **colourful walls** and eclectic decor that give the space an artistic, bohemian soul. It has an incredibly **cosy atmosphere**, making it one of the best spots in London to lose an afternoon with a book or a friend. While the **desserts weren’t as good as expected**, the overall charm, unique vibe, and quiet comfort of the space more than make up for it. A must-visit for anyone who values character and a peaceful environment.”

  “Took ages to serve us (30 minutes for two lattes while there was only 3 other people there) Lovely place though. Nice atmosphere and decor and i dont mind going up the steps. I go there often for events nearby so I'll update my review when they get better service. So far though, slow.”

  “Absolutely amazing place, quiet and reserved and tucked away in a top floor of an art gallery. Which has a very quirky feeling to it. Has the bougie atmosphere feeling would recommend anyone to go and enjoy like me and my partner did.”

  “Hidden gem, literally, it's hard to find! tucked away from the busy streets, located on the top floor of an old building that is an art gallery. You need to like quirky old things and a bit of decadent boudoir atmosphere. I LOVE this place! P.S. they are available for rent for small events of up to 50 ppl.”

  “I love this place, it’s a little hidden gem in the nook of Angel. The only 2 things I wished it had in order for me to give it more is the lighting- as it gets dark super early these days, so does the cafe and even with the candle it does not do any change….it cost but if you are working on a laptop or writing it is super gloomy especially for those without great clarity (please put top lights or more lights/ reading lights/lamps or something) and the second thing is the toilet - really stinky and dirty looking mostly because no window or no OPENED window so all the fraught and smells remain forever as it it is hardly cleaned (please fix the toilet). I think fixing these two things will take the hidden gem to a better level. Super busy in the weekend which makes it so loud (so when working, be aware). Food is Ok. Service is great BUT NO WIFI so come prepared and ready to use your hotspot.”

  “My favourite cafe in London, a true local gem with a London feel. The cakes and food are delicious, affordable, and the staff is friendly. Best part? No WiFi! People are living in the moment, chatting or reading, and it’s blissfully free of laptops. I come every other week and highly encourage my friends to support it. It’s open late too, which is rare for a cafe in London. I wish more people would discover this, especially on weekdays.”

  “Artsy, eclectic and never overwhelmingly busy! My friends and I always find ourselves back here when a big assignment is coming up as they’re open later than most cafes. The staff are always friendly and play great music!”

  “A lovely Café with fun interior and a "living room" atmosphere. It's a great place to spend some time reading or chatting with friends. The staff was really friendly and the cake absolutely delicious! I'll definitely come again :)”
