The best coffee I’ve had is at a little coffee cart in a garden called ExpressoBase Speciality Coffee in the heart of London. It’s open from Tuesday to Friday.
With choices like piccolo and cortada alongside the traditional expresso, macchiato, latte and cappuccino, all of which are made with freshly roasted, organic coffee bean and served without sugar (you don’t need it), it caters to true coffee aficionados. We paired our coffee with some delicious Italian Cantucci and Amaretti biscuits and even took a second cup (it’s that good!)
With a friendly and knowledgeable barista (owner) who gave us some great recommendations, ExpressoBase is a hidden gem for genuine coffee enthusiasts (not people who like the syrupy sweet concoctions) and those seeking a genuine Italian experience.
A lovely oasis set back from a busy London street. You could easily walk past the venue.
Open Tuesday to Fridays.
I suggest a double shot Cortado or double shot piccolo to ensure you get the full flavour of the coffee extraction.
The Barista is knowledgeable and super friendly. You can tell by how he interacted with us and other visitors that he loves what he does. Sourcing great coffee beans and giving great service.
If you enjoy a good natural coffee without sugar or syrup this is a venue for you.
You can also buy coffee related accessories and snacks etc
Can really recommend if you want to have good coffee (that doesn't need sugar!) The drinks can be had with ice or oat milk which is greatly appreciated :D the amaretti are also delicious
Delicious smooth espresso.
Don't come here if you like syrup, whipped cream etc
This place is for real coffee lovers.
Very friendly owner and lots of fresh roasted beans available for purchase
Great atmosphere for escaping the hustle of the busy London streets.
The best latte I have ever had! Wonderful garden coffee tables, beautiful and magical setting, excellent service, and the best coffee and hot cocoa- highly recommend!
The coffee is just perfect and the place is magnificent, a garden full of plants, nice relaxing jazz, the owner is so nice, the perfect cozy place to enjoy your coffee far away from the loud. You should check it out!
Be there and you will never be disappointed!
The coffee was so gooooood with perfect taste (I ordered a hot latte) the seller was very nice and polite💓 I will definitely come back again
This used to be my daily go-to for coffee. Came back for a visit after many years and was really happy to see it’s just as amazing as it always has been. The coffee is fantastic and the owner is extremely kind.
It’s a little hidden oasis in the middle of London… can’t be recommended enough :)
A gem , hidden in plain sight.
Wow. What a find. If you don't walk past or already know about it, well that's your downfall. We were so lucky and just walk past. I am so jealous of the people here in the office's and can come almost every day. Not far from British Museum. If you are in the area and need the "perfect" coffee then make a small effort you won't be disappointed.
The best espresso I’ve found in London! I stumbled across this place after a visit to the British Museum and it was such a delight. Had a fantastic cortado in a lovely little garden. Will definitely stop here every time I come to London!
