Had a really good coffee here... just off Trafalgar Sq, handy for galleries & yummy sarnies/cakes at very reasonable prices
A great community bakery. Their almond croissants are delicious. I'd also recommend trying one of their sour dough breads.
Notes is a busy, buzzy little café come wine bar, as famous for its earthy roasted coffee as it is for the range of affordable wines it has on offer. It’s food menu is limited to sandwiches, salads, and pastries…of which we regretted trying; I hear their sandwiches are good though. I am not big on wine so I tried their ale instead (they don’t have proper beer). And now I know I’m not big on ale either (the India pale ale was utterly disgusting – ugh). Service was efficient and accommodating rather than friendly, which is more than acceptable considering how packed the place was when we visited. In a nutshell, Notes is a trendy alternative to the oh-hum high street franchises like Starbucks and Costa, and well worth a visit.
Waste NOT. Want NOT.
Cute place with really good coffee. Limited food options. I saw just one sandwich on the menu and a few salads. Was a bit confused.
Ordered the croissant which was frozen so I asked them to warm it up a bit.
The sandwiches here are to die for! I really enjoyed the chicken avocado sandwich. Generous lashings of avocado with cooked chicken and there was this amazing sauce in between (unfortunately I scoffed it down and didn't take a picture!). The chorizo and chicken was quite good as well. Good quality cuts of meat used and crunchy fresh bread.
Coffee is not mind blowing but a lovely atmosphere to chill and have a conversation.

Charming little cafe barely a stones throw from Trafalgar Square. The coffee is legitimate and while their selection of food is limited, it's enough to fill a hole...grab the granola and yogurt for a breakfast starter ;)
The independent music store turned coffee shop and wine bar, roast their own coffee – Bokasso espresso beans that lend a deliciously buttery texture to cappuccinos; offer a formidable selection of wines by the glass and bottle; AND host live jazz evenings on a regular basis. Reason a-plenty to check it out.
The layout of a typical cafe with small congested tables but the menu is great. They have these ordinary menu sandwiches which dont taste like every other cafe. They seem to prepare with some kind of standard in mind. Their teas are just what you need in terms of flavour and colour. They know what they are doing. Although they dont seem happy working in the cafe. They just dont smile that often. Dont worry if you find the place empty because in 5 minutes people would swarm in and it would be difficult to find a place to stand. Go there for the hustle in the middle of the city.
Good Coffee with Good Jazz Sounds. Good coffee in a very light setting. Nice jazz sounds playing in the background, and lots of cd's and dvd's to buy as well.
My friend Gen alerted me to the opening of Notes in St Martins Lane - a new cafe from the Flat Cap coffee team. So when my stupid Northern Line train was held at Charing Cross this morning I decided to abandon ship and wander up St Martins Lane and see what this Notes Music & Coffee place was all about. It turned out to be Day Two so they were still working out the till and how much things cost etc but it was all kind of endearing and you could tell there was a real passion for what they were doing. The place looks amazing - a huge room with a vaulted glass ceiling up the back through which you catch a glimpse of the cool spinning globe on top of the neighbouring Coliseum Theatre. As well as coffee and food (and more on that later) these guys have a really cool selection of CDs and DVDs for sale - classical, jazz and world music as well as the more art-house end of the DVD spectrum, plus some DVDs of opera, ballet etc. Obviously as this place is new there was lots of space so it felt i
A small cafe just off St. Martin's Place.
I went at 4 pm and the place was buzzing with people who were working and friends just catching up. I was meeting a friend and we had coffee. He didn't get what he expected and they promptly changed it. My rating is for this. :)
Overall, good coffee, great experience!

This place is an all-rounder; great for a date, for a catch up with friends, or even just a chill out with a good book or for a spot of people-watching.
They are open until late and have a large selection of lovely wines for those starting off their evening (or finishing off their afternoon tea!). They have catered for the hot weather by stocking up on cooling delights such as Cegworth Valley juices, iced coffees and interesting strawberry ice tea concoctions. The baristas are rather trendy, bearded and very talented at latte art. (I got a little heart, served with a blush :) )My coffee was the definition of a perfect coffee from an independent café, made my people that understand coffee. Well roasted, not burnt or oversized. Don't be deceived by the dainty cups; it is filled to the brim with rocket fuel. I sipped with my friend on their outside bench, enjoying that lovely balance between being in central London without being trampled by the tourists.
Rather unsurprisingly, they also have live music here although I've not yet had the opportunity to hear the notes in this respect. All in all, a perfect, cute and easy-going café which is definitely high on my list of London locations.
Service here is absolutely lovely. The brew staff and the wait staff are really helpful, patient and act as mini tour guides and direction givers too. all this is done with a smile and no sign of irritation.
so be aware, that to receive this kind of service with individual attention, this is not the place to go if you are in a hurry and don't have the patience to wait.
Each of the coffees are individually brewed and its such a refreshing change from the chain cafes (I searched for an independent coffee shop, before I landed at this location.)
The prosciutto with buffalo mozarella is served with a large plate of bread and olive oil and could quite easily be a light meal for 2 or a heavy meal for one.
Loved the service
I'm a sucker for good coffee and this cafe in the heart of the West End really hits the spot.
The cafe itself has an open, light air about it and feels like somewhere you would like to hang out for a while. They show classic movies downstairs and sell them on DVD if you're so inclined.
I had a smoked salmon roll with cream cheese and rocket and the bread was fresh and light and the salmon perfect. Smoked salmon can sometimes be a bit rubbery and tasteless but not here which is a good indication as to the quality of the food.
I had a blondie and a latte afterwards both of which were fantastic. Notes have recently started roasting their own coffee beans, which are available to take away, and from what I tasted they are doing a great job of it so far. I got a lot of caramel with a hint of berries and is on a par with Speakeasy off Caranby Street for flavour. They offer the full coffee range plus Aeropressed cups for the adventurous. Top marks :)
Super cute café, the breakfast is delicious and they have a lot of gluten free options. The service is really good and especially the one with the black glasses, he is so kind and heartwarming. The next time I come to London, I will definitely come here!☺️
Coffee is very good here. I had a brownie which was a bit too sweet for my taste. We visited at a peak time and it was rather difficult to maintain a conversation due to noise. Waitress was lovely, cannot fault her.
We stumbled across Notes Coffee when exploring around London, if you're between Trafalgar Sq and Leicester Sq look no further. I couldn't believe how busy and vibrant it was for such a small cafe, they have a wide variety of all your favourites but the pancakes, bacon & maple syrup definitely came out on top. Staff are brilliant and really made us feel at home, I cant get over how good the pancakes were: perfectly stacked, tasted great and all round just a brilliant experience.
They offer both hot and cold drinks, cocktails and alcoholic beverages, prices are slightly higher than normal but due to the quality and location I totally understand and cant wait to come back.
Very nice cafe for a fine breakfat. We had the pancakes and the scrambled eggs on toast with crispy bacon. It was really good. Acceded our expectations.
Amazing decaf oat milk flat white ☕️ and coconut matcha 🍵 quick friendly service, delicious freshly roasted beans and perfectly
Foamed milk. They have Oatly which is key for me. Will be back for sure!
Cute Cafe with good pasties and drinks. Wish the coffee and chocolate was hit and not luke warm though...
I visited notes coffee roasters after hearing the hype. The lungo was amazing and i can't complain about the taste! I'll visit here more often when I visit london next time. also, plus point for the friendly service ;)
A nice central location. Friendly folks. Attentive service. Nice coffee. Enjoyed the Reuben sandwich. All together nice and relaxing. Good start of the day. Nice breakfast optons. Do not know if they make hollandaise from scratch for some options on the menu hence the reason I went for another option. Was peeking at the table next to me 😏
This is a good place for breakfast & brunch. Very well located thou it was quite calm when I visited.
The food was on point. I had the Super Breakfast & will do again.
I would recommend it.
The coffee sizes are a bit little for me thou but all in all it’s a great choice
Great little find in the heart of London right next to Trafalgar square. You will need to keep your eyes out because it is discretely marked from the street. We went there for coffee and brunch. The pancakes were very tasty both ways. Very good coffee!
