About Nostos Coffee

Nostos Coffee is a coffee shop in London, set on the pedestrian-only street at 6 Orchard Pl. The flat white is made with freeze-distilled milk, which is frozen and then partially defrosted over 24 hours. The rest of the bar is built around filter coffee, with a pour-over selection and batch brew. The setup includes a large flat burr grinder, single-dose tubes and water kits, and the water is mineralized to match the coffee on offer. Table service follows its own order, with pastries arriving first and the coffee brought to the table afterward. A big table stands in the middle of the room. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return most for the freeze-distilled flat white, where the milk is frozen then partially defrosted, leaving it thick, sweet, and concentrated. Close behind is the pour-over, called exquisite and beautifully balanced, with one reviewer trying it across three Colombian beans that tasted of blueberry, strawberry milkshake, and cardamom. Others single out a sugarcane decaf long black with grapefruit acidity, a batch brew, and a matcha that is not too sweet and not too earthy, with enough matcha to turn the milk vibrantly green. Several describe a serious filter setup where staff mineralize the water to match each coffee and remove chaff with a blower. The terrace and relaxed atmosphere also draw praise. The recurring complaint is the pastries: two reviewers found them dry or not fresh, and one said an oat milk latte tasted bitter. One reviewer had to ask several times for allergy details about the pastries, and another found the room noisy, with a big central table and laptop users making it hard to relax on a busy Saturday morning.

    “Very nice and modern place in the heart of old London. One of the best coffees I’ve had. Great atmosphere and the perfect place to relax during sightseeing in London.”
  • Paul Leong
    “Nostos Coffee is a lovely specialty coffee stop with a clean, contemporary interior that immediately gives the space a calm and polished feel. The minimalist design keeps things simple without becoming sterile, making it an attractive place to slow down for a coffee while exploring the surrounding Chelsea neighbourhood. The highlight for me was sitting outside on the terrace with my coffee. On a pleasant day, having a good cup while watching the world go by was genuinely delightful and made the experience feel considerably more leisurely than a typical grab-and-go coffee stop. Between the clean interior, relaxed outdoor seating, and enjoyable coffee, Nostos gets the fundamentals right. A very pleasant place to pause, recharge, and enjoy London at a slower pace.”

    “Some of the best matcha I’ve ever had. Not too sweet and not too earthy. They actually put enough matcha in the milk to give a beautifully vibrant green colour.”
  • Scott R Gibbs
    “A selection of artisan coffees are available and I was very happy with the choice I made. Their coffee is rich and smooth, It was to be savoured and not rushed, the aesthetics of the cafe is immaculately clean, spacious and has an atmosphere that invites you to be friendly. The staff are courteous and helpful and I would encourage anyone to go, especially if you enjoy a great quality coffee”
