Tucked away at the lower end of Bermondsey St is a renovated guards house that used to watch over the graves next door. Now it’s worth coming south of the river for your daily coffee. It’s full of character and the wood burner is a real charmer as the winter months roll on in. Serving Ozone coffee they know that an Americano doesn’t come with milk and that it’s different to a long black. But don’t be fooled, it’s no Shoreditch hipster attraction. It’s just pure passion and filled with local lovers. However it’s not all about the coffee. Their tea selection is pretty top and I’m an avid lover of the Green tea: jade tips after lunch. With wifi, built in phone chargers and serving a fine healthy breakfast, it’s hard not to have this place as one for the«frreelancer’s office» list. I know it’s on mine!

Beautiful inside and out. Lovely staff and excellent coffee at a reasonable price. Short review but that is all there is to say. Apart from the cakes looked amazing. Enjoy.

This is a cool little coffee shop that only seats a hand full of people but serves great coffee with a smile. Highly recommended

I really like this tiny coffee shop that used to be attached to St Mary Magdalens cathedral. My husband discovered most of the menu including the cappuccinos, lattes and croissants and muffins. The coffee is strong but smooth and the pastries are delicious and I believe homemade. Come down and check out this tiny little gem!

This little café popped up during the street festival at the end of the summer. It’s situated in a unique building, a tiny 19th century room which I believe was attached to the nearby church at some point. The space is cozy — lots of wood paneling and benches, and exposed brick, albeit it can be a bit of a tight squeeze. The pastries, soups and sandwiches here look amazing! I’ve heard great things about the doughnuts and salmon bagel. I just popped in for a chai, which was good. They do seem a bit frazzled with the service(I asked for a to go cup, didn’t get one, but the two women in front of me did, when they didn’t, etc). Minor growing pains I think. I’ll definitely be back!

Very cool little coffee house in the old watch house for St. Mary Magdalen’s Church in Bermondsey. Apparently, long ago, somebody lived in the watch house to prevent grave robbers from the adjacent cemetery. It’s now been beautifully converted to a coffee house. Exposed brick walls inside and a few tables. I had a great flat white two days in a row, a delicious croissant one day and a nice salmon bagel the next. My friend had porridge one day which he said was great. They have built-in USB ports to plug in electronics. Looks like a great collection of baked goods and breads. Really nice service.
