Share

COMP Coffee is on Leather Lane between Holborn and Farringdon. The small cafe has a few seats close to the counter and serves Chinese specialty coffee, matcha and hojicha.

Service & Room

The small café has limited seating and focuses on drinks rather than a broad food menu. Weekday mornings and lunch breaks can be busy; weekends may offer more time for matcha or a conversation about the coffee.

An independent, owner run coffee shop. A super clean cut spot, with a bold blue front which means you can't miss it on the street, and a minimalist inside with a few stools and some beans to buy. You're greeted by the owner, who was super welcoming and guided me through the menu and the 3 main bean choices of the day. Their speciality is a dirty coffee (espresso with chilled milk) and I think also matcha. I had a flat white, which was super silky and presented very very nicely. This is a highly recommended spot.
