  “I think I have found my favourite coffee place! I was out on a stroll of Notting Hill and needed a coffee place to sit, work, and enjoy coffee. A lot of laptop café hoggers have made it impossible to find such a place but Mawi is different: You have spaces reserved for regular non-laptop customers (you know, the ones that give these places the good energy) but also cater for the laptop folk with a nice table. The coffee is excellent; I tried a flat white which was smooth with a well balanced presence of cream hints (I opted for a nice cows' milk :) ) and immediately made a plan to clear the rest of the options. It has a calm vibe with very reasonably priced coffee. The cakes and cookies (which I tried, I won't speak of what I did not try) are lovely. I will definitely visit again!”

  “Absolute gem of a place, great cafe with a very simple but extremely well made breakfast. Big portions, even for hungry kids and smoothies were nice . Lovely spot.”

  “I’ve been visiting Mawi every morning for their delicious yogurt granola, but today’s was on another level. It was prepared by a lovely lady, Nina, and you could genuinely taste the care and effort she put into it. Absolutely amazing, I love this place. Only small caution: they do occasionally run out of fresh fruit, which feels like karma catching up with me… but hey‑ho.”

  “I went here because there are 3 people in a queue at Guillam which I usually go and i was in a rush. Walked into Mawi next door and had a cappuccino to go. They used chocolate shavings instead of powder which allows you to taste the chocolate properly, a nice touch. I actually prefer this vs Guillam's but it is personal taste. Very polite service and although I didnt stay long I like the decor and atmosphere, relaxed rather than instagramable glam I guess. Good find.”

  “Nice interior design and such a cute place to visit. They have a laptop zone, but it’s only one long table — laptops aren’t allowed at the other tables. The chocolate croissants were fresh and really tasty for a good price. One downside though: I noticed an ant climbing on the table during my visit 🤨🥲”

  “I came to Mawi Cafe to get some work done - the staff were so friendly and the atmosphere was great for working and socialising. I had the smashed avo on sourdough and a flat white. Both were delicious! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area!”

  “The iced chai is absolutely delicious! I was visiting the area for a few days and kept coming back for it. And the staff is so nice! I accidentally spilled by chai and Maria was so kind and made me a new one. Will be coming back when I’m in the area again, thank you!”

  “A Notting Hill Gem: Exceptional Coffee and Heavenly Treats ​If you find yourself wandering through the charming streets of Notting Hill, there is one spot you absolutely cannot miss: Mawi Coffee. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt an immediate sense of warmth and hospitality. It is one of those rare places where you don’t just feel like a customer, but like a welcome guest in a friend’s home. We truly felt super comfortable throughout our entire visit. ​The highlights, without a doubt, were the baked goods. We had the pleasure of trying a variety, and each was more impressive than the last: ​Orange Cake: This was a standout—perfectly moist with a vibrant, citrusy zing that wasn't overly sweet. ​Apple Pie: It tasted like a nostalgic, homemade masterpiece with a crisp crust and beautifully spiced apples. ​Blueberry Muffin: Often a simple staple, but Mawi’s version was excellent—bursting with fresh berries and featuring a perfect crumb. ​To wash down these treats, we ordered a Coffee and a Matcha. The coffee was expertly brewed, boasting a rich, smooth profile that satisfied even the pickiest caffeine lovers in our group. The Matcha was equally impressive—vibrant green, silky in texture, and possessing that perfect balance of earthy and creamy notes that is so hard to find. ​The atmosphere at Mawi is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of London. Whether you are looking for a quiet corner to relax or a friendly spot to catch up with friends on a first-name basis, this cafe delivers on every level. The combination of excellent food, delicious drinks, and a cozy vibe makes it a must-visit. ​We left with full stomachs and big smiles. If you are in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and stop by Mawi Coffee—you won’t regret it!”

  “First time visiting this café. We were tired from traveling and looking for something cozy and delicious, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite meet our expectations. The coffee was flat and not very hot. The sandwiches were average and not very tasty. Although they heated the egg and avocado sandwich, it was still served cold. The décor of the shop was pleasing to the eye, but the chairs were not comfortable. The main reason I’m giving this place 3 stars is the staff—they were friendly and welcoming”
