Four Boroughs — Restaurant in London

Really gutted to share this review as this was a go to place of mine on the triangle. The coffee is great but the service is really uncomfortable and unfriendly. The guy with the strawberry blonde tied up hair makes you feel super unwelcome, and will hardly look at you whilst you order let alone crack a smile. He’s often accompanied by a lady, and they just whisper and chat amongst themselves whilst you wait awkwardly. No pleasantries, no wishing of a good day, just a really uncomfortably exchange, almost as if you’ve inconvenienced them by ordering. In a world of coffee shops who all serve killer coffee, the service really does become a selling point; and unfortunately I won’t go back here any longer after the last...

They do a nice punchy long black, good amount of acidity if you're looking for something with a bit of oomph.

The pastries looked nice. I've had the flapjack before (too sweet for my taste though). On this occassion I tried the almond croissant but it was unfortunately as stale as a 50yr old pamphlet from the loft. It just crumbled like compressed cardboard. I did mention this as I was asked by a member of staff how everything was (I also assume they were aware they weren't fresh), but they didn't seem to be too bothered about it...

Old produce should at least be discounted. Would have been nice to be offered a refund, sadly I would have rather not bought one if they...

My partner got some coffee and pastries from Four boroughs and it was my first time to try this cafe since we moved from West London. But not good at all. I had Americano and a butter croissant, the coffee itself was very bland, no flavor at all, almost like a boiled water. Pastries were big but lack of flavor as well, unsure what butter they use. I used to trust the individual cafes as they know what they sell and for that, they stand out better than most well known coffee shops. But I am wrong in this case. It is so hard to find one decent coffee shop that makes great coffee in South...
