Rosslyn Coffee

City of London

Outstanding

Review by Stuart

Rosslyn is the City espresso bar that treats every flat white like a calling card. The space is bright and compact—think tall windows, high-energy bar flow, and just enough bench seating to pause between meetings.


The offer is tight: dialled-in espresso and immaculate milk drinks on a La Marzocco Linea, with a filter option that rotates between batch and occasional pour-over. Cups are sweet, structured, and arrive quickly even when the queue wraps around the corner.


Rosslyn Coffee bar with bright interior
Sunlit bar, fast hands, and a line that keeps moving.

Service is crisp but warm—quick recommendations, tasting notes, and a retail shelf if you’re grabbing beans. Food is minimal (pastries, light bites), which keeps the focus on the cup.

City espresso at its sharpest: clean extractions, silky milk texture, and a bar team that moves like clockwork.

Signature flat white—sweet, balanced, and consistent.
