Kaffeine is the Fitzrovia stalwart that still moves like a fresh-opening Aussie espresso bar. Expect dialled-in shots, silky milk, and staff who get you ordered and seated before the queue can snake to the door.
The space is long and narrow with light wood, black accents, and just enough bar seating to watch the La Marzocco hum. Batch brew runs alongside espresso, and the team will happily steer you toward something fruit-forward or more chocolatey depending on the roast.
Food goes beyond pastry: think brioche buns, salads, and plates that make this a proper lunch stop. Service stays upbeat, and turnover is quick without feeling rushed.
London’s classic Aussie espresso bar: silky flat whites, bright batch brew, and a team that knows your order by the second visit.
