Harris + Hoole

I visited for the first time yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it! I had a medium latte and it was delicious with some super cute latte art going on.
There was a fair selection of cakes and biscuits on offer and some delicious looking sandwiches, including small rolls for children, something lacking in many other coffee shops!
My son and I managed to bag a seat on the sofa by the window and got snuggled and cosy to while away half an hour. Unfortunately, I did notice the seat next to me and the floor were pretty dirty. It was bright and spacious and we’ll definitely return again! Sandwiches are slightly pricey but coffee prices are pretty average, very similar when compared to all other coffee chains.

It’s a really nice spot in Ealing to study and have good coffee. People there are extremely nice and friendly. I had a problem with my wifi there but it could totally be my laptop.

Pretty nice little spot in Ealing for coffee.
Harris + Hoole is one of those coffee shop chains that desperately want to look like an indie spot — and they kinda do a good job at disguising themselves as such.
The branch in Ealing Broadway is really nice, has school-​like chairs and worn out sofas. A hipster’s paradise. We went there twice for coffee and once for a quick lunch (today). Their coffee is nice, though from a place that makes such a big deal about having good coffee, I found that it was pretty average — nice but nothing to shout about.
Their food looks lovely though, and I’ve tried their halloumi and Aubergine flat-​bread today and it was really really delicious (maybe they should start market for sandwich eaters rather than coffee drinkers… just saying) and I’m looking forward to coming back another day to try more from their range, maybe something sweet.
The downstairs is big, bright and airy. The food counter is massive and you’re spoilt for choice, though they do have more sweet than savoury stuff. Which I guess makes sense.
The upstairs is much smaller but not cramped, it has a large sofa and some individual tables and armchairs, as well as some nice local art on the walls. It was a bit too hot though, despite the air con being turned on. But I guess that’s an issue they have probably two weeks out of 52 per year.
Only disappointing bit was the price: we paid £15 for two sandwiches (albeit big and yummy) and two small cappuccinos. Am I being cheap or is that a tad too much for what is is?
Either way, lovely spot and will be definitely coming back!
