I recently had the absolute pleasure of visiting Tattle Coffee House, nestled within the chic Lost Property St. Paul’s London - Curio Collection by Hilton, and it was an experience that deserves every bit of praise! From the moment I stepped into this cozy gem, I was enveloped by its warm, inviting atmosphere and stylish decor, perfectly complementing the hotel’s boutique charm. The quirky artwork and comfy seating make it an ideal spot to unwind, whether you’re a local or a traveler exploring the vibrant heart of London, just steps from St. Paul’s Cathedral. The coffee at Tattle is nothing short of exceptional. They proudly serve Monmouth Coffee, sourced fresh daily, and each sip reflects the care and passion behind it. I opted for a Golden Turmeric Latte, which was a delightful blend of bold flavors and wellness-focused ingredients—a true treat for both the palate and the soul. My friend, who has a gluten intolerance, was thrilled with the gluten-free options available. The vegan croissant sandwich, filled with creamy avocado, fresh tomato, and peppery rocket, was a standout, perfectly flaky and packed with flavor. The staff even double-checked to ensure it met her dietary needs, showcasing their attentiveness and care. Speaking of the staff, Jun and the team were phenomenal! Their genuine warmth and enthusiasm elevated the experience, making us feel like valued guests rather than just customers. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured every detail was perfect, from the beautifully crafted lattes to the speedy service despite a bustling morning crowd. The menu also impressed with its variety—freshly baked pastries, vibrant salads, and indulgent crepes catered to every craving, with gluten-free bread available upon request, which was a thoughtful touch. The ambiance is laptop-friendly with plenty of charging stations, making it a fantastic spot for remote work or a casual catch-up with friends. The location, right by St. Paul’s, adds to its allure, offering a serene escape amidst the city’s hustle. My only regret is not having more time to linger! Tattle Coffee House is a must-visit for anyone seeking top-tier coffee, delicious gluten-free bites, and a welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. I’ll be back for another iced vanilla latte and that...
Read moreFirst impression of Tattle Coffee House near St Paul’s is that it is tiny, the tables are really cramped. The cafe is actually connected to the lobby of Lost Property St Paul’s hotel which is nice but does make the space feel a bit squeezed.
I managed to squeeze into a side bench table with a bit of manoeuvring, but something about the pricing just put me off right away. The menu says £3.80 for an Iced Americano but I was charged £4.28 when I ordered, even though I brought my own reusable cup. I know some places offer discounts for bringing your own cup and some do not, which is fine, but I have never been charged more than the price on the menu before. It is only 50p but it left a bad taste.
Speaking of taste, the coffee itself was not good. It came with just two or three little ice cubes floating in it, was pretty much room temperature and tasted a bit dirty. Not a great way to start the day.
On the plus side, the tall barista who came in after was super sweet and when I asked for more ice she was happy to help. The place is also laptop friendly with plenty of sockets around and you can easily connect to the hotel lobby wifi which is decent speed.
I have been to over 100 cafes in London and there are very few that I would say I would not return to, but sadly this is...
Read moreI recently visited Tattle cafe and was quite disappointed with the service charge policy. Upon receiving my receipt, I noticed an unexpected 12.5% service charge had been added. This charge was not mentioned by the staff at any point during my visit, which I found quite frustrating.
After reading previous reviews, I discovered that the service charge is mentioned on the menu. However, it’s disappointing that the staff didn’t take the initiative to inform me directly. Transparency is key to good customer service, and I believe this should have been clearly communicated.
Overall, this experience left me feeling dissatisfied, and I hope the cafe considers addressing this issue to improve customer trust and...
