“Quietly putting out the best coffee and pastries in Borough Market. Do not skip the pain au chocolat.”
- Jean
“Café, filtre, exceptionnel, très aromatique, du presque jamais vu. Ambiance très agréable. Pâtisserie, sucrée et salée, exceptionnel également, qui rivalise largement avec les très bonnes pâtisseries françaises.”

“Nice coffee and very friendly service from Jahmal”
- Matthew Koeslag
“Got a mocha and a chocolate croissant here on October 10, 2026. Great little takeout spot right around the corner from Borough Market. The decor feels very gentlemenly. The mocha was creamy and delicious. The croissant was flaky with a soft and buttery interior. Great little spot and perfect takeaway for walking through the market. Would definitely recommend, especially as opposed to the long lineups in Borough Market.”
