Very cute coffee shop hidden in exmouth market. I walked from kings cross station and needed a place to grab some drinks and rest.
I ordered ice latte with oat milk, which is pretty impressive as I didn't expect much anyway. It's quite "milky" but since it's plant based, it doesn't make my stomach suffer from digesting the drink (like I usually have to). I like the ratio of coffee and milk in my latte, the drink tastes creamy but neither of the flavor is overpowering.
Overall it is a chill, warm, and cozy local cafe. It's also a good spot for 2-3 people to sit down and chat on weekend afternoon! -

Great coffee, chill bohemian vibe, and surprisingly friendly staff for this part of the world. The unique juxtaposition of the chill coffeeshop atmosphere with a serious love of music makes this one of the cooler coffee shops you'll find around this area, and the food is nothing to turn your nose up at, either.
They have a modest menu of great quality coffees, made to near-perfection, and a menu boasting of both healthy and not-so-healthy bagels and pastries, which are all equally delicious, (yes, the healthy ones, too).
They have decadent toffee cheesecakes and big vegan cookies made with oats and coconut, chewy brownies and high-quality chocolates. Pick your poison, they all pair perfectly with their java.
Check out their social media pages, as I hear they usually hold special events that you don't want to miss if you're ever in the area.
So, take a chill pill and enjoy. -

I stayed over Exmouth Market for a week on the first leg of my honeymoon. Each morning we'd troll the Market for breakfast. We didn't head into Brill until the last day, because my husband was less-than-enthused about their "bready" menu.
I so wish we'd gone sooner! Months later my mouth still waters at the thought of the perfect cappuccino and mind-bending avocado and dukkah brick lane bagel, and my bread-averse, carnivorous husband agrees. I've even tried to recreate the bagel, but I can't get anything in California that even casts a shadow on the bagel, nor can I get the dukkah right. Obsessed. When I'm in London next, I'll go as far out of my way as possible to secure another! A+. -

This is an electric coffee shop, meaning that they have more than just coffee. You can buy a magazine, some grocery, maybe some music and then sit down with you finds and chill. I bought a book and chilled with a latte since we were well ahead of schedule. Limited seating but we managed. Good customer service and fair prices.

Just what I needed. A cozy place with bohemian feel great music and free wifi and hot tea and coffees. Locals coming in all the time having chats with the barristas.
