About Allpress Espresso - TEA Building
Allpress Espresso - TEA Building is an espresso bar at 56 Shoreditch High St in London, run as a small hole-in-the-wall counter with a few tables inside. It opens in the daytime from Monday to Friday and stays closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so it serves the weekday crowd only. Espresso-based coffee is the main offer, and iced coffee is also on the list. For plant-milk drinkers, the menu includes an oat flat white and an oat chai latte.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come mainly for the coffee itself, praising an oat flat white, an iced coffee on a hot day in May where the barista's care came through in the taste, and espresso described as reliably good from a true hole in the wall. Friendly, chatty service comes close behind, and one visitor from Australia enjoyed a random chat while collecting a takeaway order. The space is small, with a few tables inside and a few outdoors, and one reviewer calls it a good place to work remotely. The complaints center on the drinks and the seating area. One reviewer found the oat chai latte over-spiced and bitter, another said the milk was burnt and oversteamed, and a third wished the coffee had been hotter and suggests ordering it extra hot. One diner describes an overpowering smell from the bathrooms whenever someone went in or out. Another reviewer notes the result can depend on who makes the drink, yet loves going there after a guy at the machine made their iced coffee so well.

“I was here for a quick takeaway. The coffee (oat flat white) was great and the team serving were extremely friendly. Being a visitor from Australia, it was lovely to have a random chat - it made me happy. Thank you.”

“True hole in the wall but reliably good espresso!”

“Oat chai latte had too much spice added, tasted bitter. Seating area layout ok but the smell from the bathrooms whenever someone came in or out of them was overpowering, quite unpleasant. Service was ok.”
