Come for the all-day room; the coffee is better than the cocktail menu implies. Worth knowing about if you're in Covent Garden.

The coffee is the best part of a room that doesn't lead with coffee.

Kiss the Hippo Coffee Covent Garden★★★ Purist

Kiss the Hippo roasts their own, and the baristas at the Covent Garden branch are the kind who steer you toward the single origin before you've finished asking.

WatchHouse Covent Garden★★★ Purist

WatchHouse roasts at the South London Coffee Lab and the Covent Garden room is where you access it: single origins with flavour cards, tasting flights at the bar, and baristas who can account for what's in the cup.

Monmouth Coffee Company★★★ Purist

Monmouth built what became London's specialty coffee template before most of the city caught up, running direct farm relationships since the beginning. The original. Still worth the queue.
