Quick info
About Red Lion Coffee
Red Lion Coffee is a coffee shop at 52 Lime St in London that runs in two formats. During the day, the counter serves coffee, including cappuccino, with croissants and homemade sandwiches to go alongside. From 4pm Monday to Thursday, the same space becomes a bar pouring craft beer, biodynamic wine and cocktails, so a visit can end with a drink as easily as it starts with a coffee. The shop opens Monday to Friday and closes on Saturdays and Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the cappuccino and latte, with several singling out the latte art on top and one calling the decaf latte the best they've tasted in a long time, with the milk frothed to a good temperature and not scorched. A large double shot cappuccino made quickly during rush hour gets its own mention. Close behind is the staff, described again and again as friendly, with one reviewer noting how happy the baristas seemed. Homemade sandwiches, cakes, croissants and bagels are also mentioned, along with plenty of seating outside. Reviewers describe a small place among tall office towers, buzzing with finance crowd energy yet calm, with Amy Winehouse playing in the background. Some like the interior design and the cute takeaway cups. The one complaint is the door, which doesn't close by itself, so during strong winds one party had to keep shutting it as it blew on them.

“Excellent coffee, smaller place which gives a great pleasant impression and a great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The only negative was the door that didn't close by itself and during strong winds it was annoying to have to keep closing it because it was blowing on us.”
