This is the best cafe I tried in London so far. Two passionate coffee-lovers, Nat and Louis set up this lovely and cozy cafe in 2019. They roast all their own high quality coffee beans with the 1kg roaster which is really impressive. So respect to Nat and Louis. Wish this cafe can grow and sustain well. Recommend to anyone who like the authentic coffee taste.

This is our favourite coffee shop as a family. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The coffee is amazing. I'm told nowhere else does babycinnos like here. The food is also perfect. We are so lucky to have this coffee shop round the corner from us.

I live close to this cafe, and it's a very aesthetically pleasing place. The variety of food is excellent, and the quality of the hot drinks is very high. The price for a small hot chocolate is quite steep, over 4, but the taste is incredible and it’s the only one that doesn’t give me a sugar rush and palpitations like others do, so I treat myself occasionally. However, the staff could be a bit friendlier. Overall, the quality here is among the best in London.

Element is SO good. There are four rotating blends of coffee, and the fifth element available for walk ups. There’s food and indulgent pastries, and a roster of community activities, with a focus on queer friendly book groups and ways to meet others like quizzes. In Northfields, there isn’t anyone else roasting or prepping coffee to this level. The vibe is very much “upstate NY local coffee place”, something I’ve always found mystifyingly hard to find in the UK. We’re lucky to have Element on our doorstep.

I spoiled my Moccha with a spoon (too impatient to drink it) so the photo isn't a true representation of what you get. Sorry.

Nat and Tara, literally the best and fastest, baristas in London. the whole crew is so nice! The shop is like a portal that transports you into a zone of zen. Really the best kept secret in London - who knows it would be hiding all the way here just across from the Northfields station?

Love this spot! Not only for the obvious reasons (lavender menaces:P) The coffee is always safe and delicious but I would challenge the owners to try and get some more adventurous beans (funky ferments or there I say coferments) for the crazy coffee people like me.

Stopped by for a break and a matcha. This cafe has a laid-back vibe that reminds you to slow down and take a break. The drink was great with friendly staff. Was extremely impressed by the cleanliness of the WC, which tells a-lot about a place. Highly recommended, will definitely be a regular here.
