Love love love this cafe! Dare I say it's one of my favourite coffee shops in London! the staff is incredibly friendly and the coffee tastes great! It's always so lovely to grab a coffee on my way to work. Also, little things such as seasonal designs of the interior always give it so much cute and friendly vibes

It was my first time visiting Foundry Coffee, and I immediately felt very welcome. The atmosphere is friendly, with plenty of tables and plugs, ideal for working with a laptop. I had a seasonal pumpkin spice latte that was smooth and perfectly balanced—not too sweet. I also enjoyed a warm and tasty cinnamon bun. (Total £7,50) The barista was super friendly, and the overall experience made me feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I stumbled upon this treasure on my way to work, tried one their seasonal coffees (pumpkin pillow) and absolutely loved it!! It's a quiet atmosphere, very relaxing with good facilities if you just want to pop in or sit and enjoy your coffee The couple that run this place are some of the nicest people I've met and I'm so glad I found this gem of a place Look forward to visiting again!

Smart independent spot. Stopped in for a coffee and a snack whilst waiting for a friend. Impressive range of flavours and combos - pistachio matcha is a new one for me. I think i missed the best savoury snacks at end of day. The friendly and welcoming staff made up for it though… thank you Eurico. Great to see support for key workers also. Hope to make it back :)

My friends and I were in London for 4 months for a course, and we were so lucky to be living around the corner from this lovely cafe. It became a home away from home. Everyone who works here was so unbelievably lovely. I wrote most of my thesis at this cafe because it was such a warm and comfortable place to be. Their hazelnut mochas were BOMB! Do yourself a favor and come here.

Usually here every week. The pistachio matcha (both hot & cold) is honestly the best! The team here are also so lovely & friendly; I can’t recommend this place enough.

The flat white is a standout: smooth, creamy, and with a beautifully balanced espresso that’s neither too bitter nor too acidic. The filter coffee options are equally impressive, with complex, nuanced flavours that really showcase the quality of the beans. If you’re a fan of pour-overs, you’ll love the clarity and depth in every cup.

Amazing coffee! We got our coffee and cinnamon roll for breakfast and they do student discounts. It was so good and there are a lot of regulars who come here often. It’s such a nice place with a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely come back!
