“ One of my favourite coffee shops in London. Friendly service, comfy mismatched furniture, lots of baked goods vegan food. Relaxed, fun atmosphere - not upright. Strong merch game. ”
“ If u are looking for an awesome real coffee not the press the button job this is the place for it ”
“ Fun atmosfere and good music. Starting the day positively. Great coffee and an amazing banana cake. Soft and moist and not too sweet. Just perfect. Friendly stuff. Recommending. ”
“ A while ago I had an excellent coffee at one of Shoreditch hotels. The baristas never made an eye contact or said a word - it was like being served by perfectly sleek androids. At one point I picked up a copy of CAFFEINE magazine and read an interview with the manager, who said their goal is to serve the best coffee, not to be a social hub for making friends. It was and still is a major turn-off for going back. Goswell Road Coffee is a hub for socialising, enjoying music (unless it's too loud - talk to the staff to turn down the volume dial) and people watching. Or better yet, crowd-watching and enjoying to be watched back. All that, plus some SERIOUSLY GOOD COFFEE. The manager, a young lady named Kay - yes, Kay - will give you a hug if you need one. Interactions are encouraged! What else do you need in this world if not more connections, more socialising, more kindness, more touch? Good job, Kay, and the whole team. ”
“ I stayed in the area for nearly a year and this was my go-to place for grabbing a coffee. More than the coffee it’s the entire ambience which is amazing. Not to forget the merchandise. For every 5 or 6 coffees that you buy, (do not remember the number exactly) you get one free. It’s a pet friendly place too ”
