Quick info
About Flat White
Flat White is an Antipodean-style independent cafe in Berwick Street Market, London, serving artisan coffee and snacks. Its character comes from a roaster-forward approach rooted in antipodean cafe culture, where the coffee program anchors the menu and the setting sits within a busy market street. The signature Flat White Coffee leads the drinks list, joined by a Cappuccino that rounds out the espresso options. On the food side, Banana Bread appears as a popular snack, giving visitors a simple pairing for their drink. The cafe works as a practical stop for a quick break while moving through the market, with a format geared toward takeaway as well as short stays. The owner description frames the space as independent and artisan-focused, and the Berwick Street Market setting places it among a dense mix of food and retail stalls.

Customer Review Summary
The flat white is the clear centerpiece, with reviewers repeatedly calling it the best they have had in the UK, praising its creamy texture and the unique Dark Arts Coffee blend. The banana bread toasted with butter and the Good ol' chocolate chip cookie come up frequently as go-to food picks, alongside mentions of avocado toast, brownies, and pastries. A recurring trade-off is the loud atmosphere, with thrashing metal and hard rock music described as energetic by some but a bit much for others, who suggest ANC headphones or outdoor seating. Several note the staff as friendly and modern, and a few highlight the availability of almond milk as a welcome alternative to oat. One reviewer specifically recommends ordering the flat white with the banana bread toasted with butter.

“My new favourite coffee place to go any time I am in Soho. Do not go to the big chains when you are close to this place, the difference in quality is game changing. The coffee is amazing and the staff just the very best. Love this place! Pro tip, Flat White and the banana bread toasted with butter 😉 …”

“Very cozy little coffee spot with great espresso and friendly staff. The pastries were fresh and the atmosphere feels authentic and local. It’s a bit on the noisy side, but that actually adds to the lively vibe. Would definitely come back.”
