Coffee Circus — Restaurant in London

Nice little coffee shop that also serves great brunch/lunch. The coffee is exceptional compared to most places. Draws a mix of clientele and not just coffee snobs. They also display and sell what I assume to be local artwork. Order at the till but at least once servers have gone out of their way to take a table order. Usually friendly service but has been let down once or twice by uncommunicative staff and unusually slow V60. It’s also rather small and tables fill up quickly.
