Quick info
About Urban Social Coffee
Urban Social Coffee is a coffee shop in Bayswater, London, at 87 Queensway, close to the station. The menu pairs specialty coffee with grilled cheese toasties, so a sandwich and a drink come from the same counter. A flat white is one of the drinks ordered, and an almond croissant is among the food items for those who want something lighter. The format is grab-and-go with quick service, built for customers who order and carry on. Dogs are welcome, so owners can bring their pets along.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come back to the coffee itself, with a flat white, a cortado and the filter coffee all named, and a few call it the best in the neighbourhood or even in London. Baristas get repeated credit for friendly, quick service and for pulling a good shot without burning the milk. Close behind are the food and other drinks: one reviewer praises an almond croissant, another a fresh crepe, and a chai latte and a matcha get kind words. The criticisms are small but specific. One reviewer found the matcha latte tasted more like a chai latte or a matcha mix than a proper matcha latte, another called the iced latte a bit thin and wanted a more aromatic espresso, and the same reviewer notes iced drinks cost extra. Seating is outdoors only, which one reviewer enjoys for watching the world go by in sun or rain. Several reviewers close on the same detail, the friendly staff behind the counter.

“Lovely matcha!! Better than Blank.. even better service. The blonde lady with the smile always so friendly and makes every visit feel welcoming. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers. Definitely worth stopping by!”

“Unfortunately, I really didn’t enjoy the Matcha Latte, so 1 out of 5 stars from me. To me, it tasted more like a Chai Latte or some kind of Matcha mix rather than a proper Matcha Latte. I can’t comment on the café itself, as I only tried the Matcha Latte.”

“The iced latte is a bit thin but overall alright. I love an espresso that's a bit more aromatic but this is still a nice place! Very kind staff :) (Having your coffee iced costs 50p extra though!!)”
