The Coffee Jar — Restaurant in London

Greed and stupidity will kill this lovely place...

We, me and my husband,go to this lovely place more than two years, almost everyday sometimes even 2 times per day. And today just noticed that people who even not regular there, use loyal cards for free cup of coffee, so little but nice thing. But imagine no one!!! for all that period of time ever mention the card to us. So of course we asked why and can we get one, and we know every staff by name and Sarah (the barrister) said in a quiet rude manner "no you can get it only if you buy coffees!" but we just were there couple of hours ago and drinked our usual espressos, and when she greeted us,she even said:"oh, nice to see you guys second time of the day!". So disappointed by greediness of the people whom you wanted support as local business so wouldn't go there anymore and if you anyway decide to go, please ask the card for yourself to avoid such an awkward and rude replies, may be you will experience even worse if you are not...

I absolutely love flat whites but the flat white that I was served here was highly disappointing. I sought out the cafe due to the good reviews but most of the flavour was coming from the milk with only tiny hints of coffee shining through. I actually asked for the drink to be remade but it was roughly the same. That said the baked goods were great.

I'll probably give this cafe another go as the reviews are so good but when you order a flat while you expect to be hit with a tsunami of flavour from the coffee with the milk making the drink full bodied yet smooth.

I visit a lot of independent coffee shops and unfortunately the flat white here fell flat (pun intended). It's a bit frustrating as I'm sure the quality of the coffee beans were top notch but this just didn't translate...

The Coffee Jar is the standard by which I measure independent coffee shops. It has an exceptional combination of really good coffee, a great food selection and the friendliest service of any coffee shop in London (and I visit a LOT of them). The coffee is high quality and put together using a process that they keep under their hats, but whatever it is that they do, it's consistently excellent. The selection of pastries and sweets is second to none, and savoury treats are also available (my favourite being their avocado and tomato on toast - it might sound dull, it's anything but). The gold seal for me is earned by the service. They are super-friendly and the cafe is clearly a labour of love. Nothing is too...
