About Ovis Coffees

Ovis Coffees is a coffee shop on St Giles High St in London, with seating in a mix of leather and wooden chairs and a view onto the street. The cookie cloud cups, filled with mascarpone in flavors like Ube and pistachio, sit alongside a Burnt Basque Cheesecake as recurring items on the counter, though flavors can sell out. Drinks include a pistachio latte and an iced caramel latte, and single-origin coffee beans are sold to take home for under £8. It opens daily on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken.

Customer Review Summary

The cloud cookie cup draws the most attention, with reviewers trying flavors like pistachio, Ube, and pumpkin, though results are mixed: several found the Ube version thin on flavor or oddly crunchy rather than cookie dough, while the pistachio version pleased despite an artificial-tasting sauce and fewer nuts than advertised. Close behind, the cake side gets stronger praise, with the Burnt Basque Cheesecake and other desserts called delicious and well made, alongside good single-origin beans and a pistachio latte. Service is inconsistent: some describe staff as attentive and friendly, others report a server who was rude and unresponsive and an order repeated twice but still delivered wrong. One visit describes advertised items, an orange hot chocolate with fig and certain toppings, as unavailable despite outdoor signage, leaving the tiramisu coffee tasting flat. One reviewer also reports the toilet was messy with equipment missing, which put them off returning.

    “The coffee and the cheesecake I've had were quite good. The coffee was strong and the milk texture was perfect, the cake tasted amazing. I was served by a girl in a headscarf who was very friendly and helpful, she was handling the customers really well. However, the management of this place should be embarrassed about the state of the toilet. Incredibly messy, with equipment missing or fallen off. It absolutely makes me not want to visit this coffeeshop again.”

    “I used to really like this shop and I was going there almost every week, especially because I love their cookie cup. It’s honestly delicious and that’s one of the main reasons I kept going back. But recently, the experience has changed a lot because of the new staff. The customer service is not the same anymore. One of the boys serving came across quite rude and didn’t even say thank you or show any basic friendly customer service. It felt like he didn’t want to be there, which made the whole experience uncomfortable. Another time, I ordered a white chocolate hot chocolate and I clearly asked twice, but I was still given a regular hot chocolate instead. The girl serving didn’t seem to listen properly and looked like she was completely in another world. Mistakes can happen, of course, but it’s the attitude and lack of attention that makes it disappointing. It’s a shame because I actually really like the products here, especially the cookie cup, but the recent rude and careless service has put me off going back. There are so many other lovely cafés around the area with much better customer service, so I’d recommend going somewhere else if you care about being treated nicely as a customer.”

    “Lovely coffee shop ☕🌿 clean inside, people working there were super nice and attentive. ☘️ Coffee was quite nice, the coffee deserts were quite impressive. They have a nice variety of drinks, the pistachio latte was nicely made and presentation decent.”

    “I really wanted to try their cookie cloud, and I visited from pretty far away. I tried the the pistachio flavor and it didn’t disappoint- lovely decadent mascarpone filling and a nice strong espresso with pistachio sauce. The sauce tasted a tad artificial and there were not as many actual pistachio nuts as advertised, so that was a bit of a let down. Overall not bad given the hype.”
