Sofu, London's very first Yunnan coffee shop, is truly a gem for coffee lovers. Drawing inspiration from the standards of the World Barista Championship (WBC), Sofu offers an innovative combo set: a black coffee, a milk-based coffee, and a cup of creative specialty coffee. This unique experience allows you to fully explore the nuances of their coffee selection, which changes regularly to highlight different beans.

The jasmine floral notes are so exquisite and upliftingâit felt like a sip of summer in a cup. Theyâre also offering another intriguing bean from Yunnan "Blood Sparrow", which I canât wait to try on my next visit.

Thatâs not just for decorationâyou can actually sit on it! The interior design is modern, minimalist, and comfortable, making it a great spot to relax or work.
Whether youâre a coffee lover or someone simply looking for a unique experience, Sofu is a must-visit. Itâs a cozy corner in London with a refreshing take on coffee, and I canât...

They also donât use a god quality milk like Estate Dairy or Ivy House Farm, which is expected to for a craft coffee place. Also no soy milk, sadly. The service was not friendly. When we asked if they had a bathroom, we were told to go to Pretâwhere you have to be a customer and use your receipt to use the bathroom. Obviously, that wasnât a helpful tip. Better just to say you donât have one rather than...
