London coffee-shop chain Harris + Hoole seeks to achieve something of a paradox - a mass-produced artesian family-owned coffee-shop offering corporate convenience packaged as an individualised experience. Whether it will prove successful may ultimately depend on one thing - the coffee.

Is there anything not to like about Labi? With cosy vibes and heartfelt food, Labi is Fulham's newest culinary oasis.

The Pavilion in Victoria Park is a painting worthy combination of idyllic setting, good-quality food and great coffee, making it a breakfast spot worth revisiting again and again.

The newly-opened Australian café Ruby Dock at Camden Lock Market is a welcome respite from the craziness of the Camden Markets that surrounds it, providing patrons with a safe port from the storm of insanity that rages outside.

When in the heart of Welsh capital Cardiff and find yourself in the need for a late-afternoon caffeine fix, The Plan provides the solution.

Tina, We Salute You in Dalston is the kind of café you would open for yourself, if you wanted to eat well, drink good coffee, and soak up the footpath sun for hours on end with your neighbourhood friends. Tina, Coffee Cult salutes you.

Experience the London of the silver screen with a trip to Hampstead, where the food is always fresh, the coffee spot on and the cobbled alleyways teaming with people with movie-star good fortune.

With gluten and dairy free options, different themed dinner nights every day of the week and a relaxed attitude to those who stop in for one coffee and instead set up shop for a whole day, Long White Cloud in Hackney is one for the locals - and Coffee Cult ...

For any Australian in London, Flat White in Soho is an ageing icon still worth visiting — even if its trendy Aussie offspring dotted elsewhere in the city may just have outgrown this Antipodean matriarch.

When it comes to caffeine, it turns out Coffee Cult is a raging capitalist - as discovered on a visit to Taylor St Baristas Mayfair branch. If it looks like a local independent, serves coffee like a local independent and has the friendly staff of one — then, we've officially ...

It may have none of the frills and fanfare as might otherwise accompany a visit to an Australian cafe and it's not a place to linger in the warm conviviality of it all. However, Borough Barista in Marble Arch is fast, efficient and serves up a mean Anzac biscuit in ...

Like a 19C day in London, Salvation Jane is worth getting excited about. Great coffee, excellent breakfasts and deliciously decadent treats, all in a warm, bright and open space. The only other place you might want to be on a sunny morning is a celebration party in a park — ...

Delicious breakfasts, satisfying portions, expertly presented and efficiently delivered. With quality coffee to precede, and follow (it is a Monday after all), Lantana is an excellent way to start the week.

Tucked away in a small alley off Kingsway, Holborn, Fleet River Bakery is a haven of freshly baked smells, creamy lattes and understated rustic charm, that has, by chance, played witness to a number of significant steps in my own personal London story.

Pimlico Fresh in Pimlico (believe it or not), has established itself as 'the cafe' in this rather inconspicuous part of London. They may not be breaking any new ground in terms of menu, but Coffee Cult discovered they are breaking records in terms of service.

It’s early Saturday morning in London and a look outside the window indicates the prospect of a long, cold, grey and bleak weekend. What’s more, I have £40 left in my bank account and a payday I know is far enough away to mean £30 of that amount needs to ...

Bill Granger's Granger & Co in London's Notting Hill has the easygoing glam of Eastern Sydney, set in the stylish grace of West London. Not just a breakfast, but an immersive experience in another world.

Before arriving in London almost 12 months ago, I had already resigned myself to the prospect of a decent coffee free existence once UK based. All that changed with a visit to Allpress Espresso in Shoreditch, and the beginning of my love affair with antipodean coffee shops in London.

The menu may have taken me by surprise, the pronunciation of its location may send me into paroxysms of inadequacy, and I may even have stepped on a dog — but The Providores was still an excellent experience and one Coffee Cult plans to repeat, if we can brave the ...

I’m about to say something quite controversial. One of my favourite cafes in London is not Antipodean. It’s the Turkish café at the end of my street.

Nude Espresso is a place of familiarity, like receiving a warm hug from an Antipodean relative. It's a place where visiting family can be eased into London life; or of casual lunches with friends and morning after breakfasts, before wandering on to nearby Brick Lane.

REVIEW | Well known for its excellent coffee and convivial hospitality, Lantana is already a stalwart favourite amongst the London Aussie expat crowd. However, as PADDY MCCRAE discovers, there is now another reason to add it to your list of regular haunts — the sublime ‘shin dig’ offered at their ...

For Coffee Cult’s inaugural Aussie coffee shop review, we indulge in a long brunch at Workshop in Clerkenwell.

As an Australian living in London, you probably crave the coffees so easily available Down Under. So, if you are after a Tim Tam and the best flat white or even a Violet Crumble with your top roast bean, sip no further than our list of recommended Australian coffee shops ...
