Maida Hill Gallery Cafe is a nice little place in a part in Maida Vale, where I am not very often. Inside, the shop is quite small and somewhat arty, in summer when it is warmer, you can also enjoy the sun and sit outside. When I visited, I was served by a guy who knew quite a bit about coffee. They get their beans from two different roasters - and I was surprise when he said that one of the roasters is Coffee Plant in Notting Hill, because I did not know that they are a roastery, I just knew them as a coffee shop.
The flat white I had there was quite strong and I would say a little bit bitter, Italian style coffee - it was okay for me as a flat white, but I would not have liked it as espresso. Going with the coffee, I had some delicious sweets, something filled with hazelnut cream, really tasty.
Unfortunately, they do not have freshly pressed juices, so I went for another coffee and the barista recommended a brew with beans from Costa Rica, single origin. I really liked this cup of coffee.

The Italian owner runs a great show, top rate coffee and pastries. Everyone knew each other & were on first names terms. When I was there a load of regulars were standing outside chatting. I have the feeling thatâs a weekend ritual.
Very well priced but make sure you have cash as they donât take card. I didnât have cash on me but the manager said I could enjoy my coffee first before going over the...
