The Kennington Coffee Shop — Restaurant in London

[If you’re seeking something quick and unattached, you’re better off going to Starbucks.. though your cold little heart will be missing out on this beautiful gem.]

This is truly thee best coffee shop we have ever been to. Staying in London for a few days could have been stressful having not researched where to go or what to do beforehand. Choosing this place was the best decision we made there. Andrew was family the second we walked in and welcomed us into it by introducing everyday folks including Steve the mailman. Absolutely felt right at home. It’d become our home-base from which to venture out and explore every day. Andrew gave us honest advice on what to check out and what to potentially skip. It’s really exactly what we needed. Thank you again for your fantastic hospitality and for making sandwiches and coffee that we still miss! (He made me a custom sandwich every morning)

All in all, while the sandwiches are a godsend and the coffee is great- you come here because you want an extraordinary experience beyond your taste buds. No doubt it’ll reach your heart. We plan on visiting the UK again and swinging by London just for this little hole in the wall that stole our hearts. We’ll see you again old chap!

I can't rave enough about what a beautiful experience we had at The Kennington Coffee Shop! We were staying at an AirBnB down the street for a week and every morning we felt like locals walking into Andrew's coffee shop. He knows everyone by name and gives the same kind of individual attention to anyone who walks through the door. He feels like family and our trip to London would not have been the same without him. We got everything from life advice to bus schedules, all while enjoying a perfect latte and absolutely delicious sandwiches and pastries.

If you are looking for a quick and impersonal Starbucks experience, please spare interrupting the loveliness of this coffee shop and go somewhere else. If you want to sip your coffee and feel at home, then this is the place for you!

On our walk to the nearby Imperial War Museum, our family stopped in this wonderful cozy coffee shop to have a full English breakfast. Andrew, the owner, was very pleasant and attentive to all of us and quickly provided excellent drinks and food. We had a wonderful chat about our Alabama home and Andrew's world travels. The coffee, orange juice, and eggs& toast breakfast were absolutely delicious. His collection of books is very interesting and diverse, and are available for his customers to read. I highly recommend this special coffee shop...
