I was too early for my train at Paddington station so I just walked around in the neighbourhood and found this hidden gem in the corner. I thought it was a bookstore at the beginning but found out it’s a nice cafe. I ordered flat white and grabbed free newspaper to read while waiting for my train. Love the newspaper and magazine collections plus tasty coffee!! The BGM is so nice! I was early for my train so popped up here randomly but will definitely come over again!
The cafe size is really small, only six chairs. The atmosphere is very relax and u can read their monocle magazine with your coffee. They also sell a wide range of design/fashion/leisure magazine
Lovely little coffee shop and book shop! Very Scandinavian feel and modern inside. Good chilled music and friendly staff. The only issue I find is the limited amount of seating and slightly slow service. But the coffee is great! Really good tasting roast. Overall great experience.
Amazing little place (with emphasis on little) makes great coffee and even better tea to be fair. Pastries & cookies were lovely too. Great place to sit and watch world go by or do what we did which was chat / have coaching conversations. Staff friendly and V helpful. There is some outside seating which is a bit of a novelty in British weather to be fair! ;-)
Oh and other thing is the array of journals or magazines on offer + a funny machine that looks like an industrial photocopier which I think can print a paper from any date of your choosing (within reason) for a princely sum!! (Well it's a few £)
Small place for coffee and magazines, The coffee was great and the service. The staff were super friendly.
Loved this little gem of an eclectic bookshop-cafe. They have a selection of hot/cold drinks and also a small selection of bakes. Highly recommended to visit!
Really superb place for coffee, magazines and cinnamon rolls. One of the best coffee shops in london and worth a trip from your hospital bed across the road.
Quaint little bookshop/cafe with a fantastic range of magazines, newspapers and books for purchase, along with some monocle mags free to read while you have a coffee. Also has a cool newspaper printer where you can print the latest newspapers from around the globe. As others have mentioned, there's only 6 seats inside (with a couple of tables outside) however I had no issues getting a seat (8am). Coffee was good though not outstanding.
Just got off the train at Paddington? Head straight to this cosmopolitan coffeeshop at Norfolk Place. Excellent espresso (mine was dark and short, just the way I like it), exquisite pastries, and shelves brimming with stylish magazines from all over the world. Very friendly service. Both the windowfront counter and the fenced-in outdoor seating area are great places to watch the world pass by. If you like Kioskafe, make sure you also check out Monocle Café on Chiltern Street, a sister establishment of sorts.
Finally I visited it. I expected a bigger place. Although, I wasn't disappointed about. Customer service was friendly and kind. Big range of magazines and a lot of monocle products. I had a nice talk with my half while waiting for my appointment at the UCC.
Loved it. Great selection of magazine and good coffee
Great coffee in a charming space a short walk from Paddington station. Fantastic selection of international titles along with a nice curated section of Monocle products
Amazing coffee with a different concept, I tried the espresso & flat white, prices are very reasonable
Nice place to have a fresh breakfast and enjoy what you would like to read. Feed your mind and your body
Always enjoy coming here when I'm in town. Coffee is great as are the buns and I love to have a look over all the great magazines.
I ❤️ this little coffee shop. Great coffees and the print material available is fabulous. The cinnamon buns are to die for. I do echo that your experience really depends on which barista you get behind the till.
Very good coffee with no lapse in quality depending on barristas. Very nice staff! I would argue for more croissants versus buns, but that's my preference.
Great concept shop with lots of glossy periodicals and good Allpress coffee. A quiet cafe, with minimal interior and exterior seating.
