  “We had an amazing time with my friend at the Watch House! What really made the atmosphere welcoming was the personal touch by Anna and Eddie who answered all of our coffee questions and gave us even to try few of the filter coffees. Anna’s passion, coupled with extensive knowledge for coffee, definitely sold the place for us. Rarely you can discuss coffee with people but also explain the way you feel when you try the different techniques and methods and the variety of beans. Would recommend to everybody- they know what they are doing !”

  “Great coffee place. The strong Black coffee was absolutely delicate. The croissant, too. There were many amazing breakfast sandwiches on the menu... I have to say I am not used to see the calories next to the prices... and that's why I went for just the croissant 🥐 Aaaah I came back didn't I... the best dish are the pancakes with bacon ❤️ just divine ...you made my 4 days stay in London incredibly 😊 wholesome. Had 3 amazing coffee x breakfast times because of you + thanks to the team for the lovely service! Everyone super friendly”

  “Had a great experience today! Shoutout to the amazing team - Silvia, Vi, Eddie, Niamh, Koko, Lija, and Christian!! Today I received a warm welcome by the team, and had fantastic dine-in service from them overall!! ;) The drinks and food I had today: Latte art and coffee taste, beautiful ;) Apple porridge, delicious :D Mushrooms and tomatoes, seasoned to perfection :))) Banana bread (oh yes, vegan!), toasted with espresso butter, highly recommend!! :> If it's your first time at WatchHouse Covent Garden, they offer a wide selection of brunch mains + sides, pastries, coffees, pour overs, matcha, juices, coffee beans + pods, and more!! WatchHouse is a specialty coffee brand that specializes in their Modern Coffee experience - tasty pour overs and batch brew coffees, and their warm and friendly hospitality + excellent service!! ;) Moreover, this branch has a bar seating area along with large windows for a good view of the streets! On top of that, there is a cozy downstairs seating area as well that is great for family + friend gatherings, and cute cubby booths too! In terms of family friendliness, they offer baby chairs and there is a baby changing station in the toilet!! And would also like to mention that they're dog friendly too!! :D”

  “Wow. What a breakfast. I started with banana bread, with espresso butter. The banana bread was thick and not overly sweet, and the combination with the espresso butter who was surprising and delicious. After that I had corn and polenta pancakes. As you can see by the photo, the presentation was off the charts. And the taste was a flavor bomb. Crunchy on the outside, the roasted tomatoes, mushrooms. Corn, avocado and salsa combo was stellar. I also, because they were out of cold brew, ordered their cold shot of the day, which was coffee and blood orange tonic. Both flavors were omnipresent, and would sounded like an odd combination to me is actually extremely delicious. Props to WatchHouse server Silvia. She was delightful and charming.”

  “Such a lovely atmosphere, and the café was spotless. Most importantly, the banana bread was absolutely delicious! Chai, who looked after us, was incredibly kind and even let us try a few different coffee beans. It made the whole experience so memorable, and I can’t wait to come back. We’ll definitely be visiting the Northcote branch where Chai usually works as well. Highly recommend!”

  “If you're after good coffee, come here! In London for 3 days and came to this daily. Nice blend and roast options, with plenty of alternative milks. Can nail a strong flat white and have converted me to an oat milk believer. Pastries from the cabinet were nice; also tried the poached eggs on toast with bacon with their beans on toast with haloumi added. Both were great!”

  “One of the best specialty coffee experiences I’ve had in London. The rotating filter coffee menu is outstanding, with clear traceability and thoughtfully selected producers. I particularly enjoyed the Peruvian coffee from Faustino Flores ,clean, vibrant, and remarkably true to its blueberry, green apple, and milk chocolate notes. The staff clearly care about coffee, and the atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between a café and a workspace. Excellent brews, great food, and enough character to make you want to stay for hours. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys exploring coffee beyond the usual flat white. ☕️”

  “#toast 651 — I’m a big fan of watchhouse - I love their seasonal menu offerings and their choices of coffee. I love that with every coffee order, you get a card with all the information you need to know about what kind of coffee you’re drinking - I think it really makes a difference! Staff are lovely and kind + Covent garden location is very spacious with also an underground seating. I prefer this location over Somerset House and SoHo even thought they’re not too far from this location. This location is just so perfect and is right by Covent Garden.

  “Watchhouse always has great coffee so that didn’t disappoint! I think in terms of interior design the upstairs was quite pretty. The basement seating level felt too much like a basement for my liking and I’m not really sure what they were going for in terms of the design here. They had these low lighting individual booths which were cool but to me suit more a bar setting. I would probably sit upstairs next time. However, it’s good they have this seating options since it can be hard to get a seat upstairs.”
