What a fabulous place! Not only beautiful but purposeful. All proceeds go to towards running the place. This will be one of my favourite places to relax and restore. Thanks to everyone at Host.
Beautiful place. Coffee machines are a bit noisy if you're looking for silent contemplation, but it pays the bills to keep this place open and shared with the rest of us. I would not have discovered it otherwise. Check out the schedule for Taize and other weekday services!
I love this place, great bolt hole, fab coffee and food, in a wonderful setting of a lovely church.
Lovely setting and atmosphere, good coffee, the cakes were so much better than any of the mainstream coffee houses but mainly a lovely place to spend time and contemplate.

Great refuge from the noise and crowds. Friendly with excellent service. Be sure to leave a coffee for someone less fortunate than you
Fantastic coffee in a peaceful atmosphere. Spot on.
My friend and I visited in May , after reading about it on google. We thought it was friendly , quiet and beautiful. You might like to read my blog post about ,
Today, I was on the lookout for a place where I could have a coffee and work on my laptop, and I found Host Café, located within the charming church, offers a truly distinctive experience. The historical backdrop adds an enchanting touch to your visit.
However, during my visit, the cold was nearly unbearable. The constant draft caused by multiple open doors made it difficult to enjoy my time there comfortably.
Regarding the pricing, the policy of charging £10 beyond 1.50 minutes may not suit all budgets.
In all, Host Café is an exceptional spot that's well worth a visit. Just be sure to dress in your warmest layers for a truly enjoyable experience!
I found @hostcoffee on the maps and was determined to visit during my London trip!
I love the church setting and the tranquility. Most people were working, studying, or reading. Some business people were getting their morning coffee and chat in but not disturbing at all. It was such a pleasant meal I would go there all the time if I’m located in London!
It is an incredibly beautiful church and a lovely setting for the cafe. Very reasonably priced compared to other city places and it was easy to find a seat. But warning the foccacia sandwiches are huge!! We got 2 but should have shared 1. A nice pot of tea for me and a cold drink for my daughter. Maybe a couple more non meat items pls, maybe tuna or salmon. And it's order at the counter. Take time to look around the church, which was rebuilt after the great fire of london. The plasterwork on the ceiling is amazing.
Good value for money, good sized coffees in a great setting. Found the coffee and service to be good. Lots of tables to sit and have a nice view, coffee, and pastry. They also have Wi-Fi. The site is really well situated for relaxing and enjoying a break or start to your day. There are also a few food vendors outside so you can grab something to eat inside and get a coffee.
Ordered a V60 coffee and brownie. The coffee was very good, full of flavour and the acidity in the coffee came through. Reasonably priced at £3.80. The brownie was delicious and super rich (a serious sugar rush too). A bit expensive at £4.20. Service was fast and very friendly. Surroundings are unique! Well worth a visit.
Beautifully unique cafe, located within a church. Sip your coffee or tea in awe of the wonderful surrounds. Very nice and friendly staff, offered us a bowl of soup for free as they were closing soon.
Cafe in a beautiful church with gorgeous ceilings and colorful glass. A warm spot in a cloudy chilly late spring day ☁️ With the options to pay and stay longer, this might be a good space for working/studying in a tranquil environment.
Cortado is on the stronger side, with notes of fruity dark chocolate. Focaccia looks good too.
Cafe inside a beautiful church, had great lattes. Amazing atmosphere and welcoming staff. A nice respite from the busy area
One of the most beautiful cafe in my experience in London. It's in the church 💙
Cute café inside a church - the atmosphere is interesting as a result!
Good coffee (Mission Coffee Works beans) and good selection of food as well.
