That\u2019s why for me when it comes to visiting any coffee shop it needs to emanate a sense of character or ambience that are distinctively different from any old regular coffee shop. If you ever come down to London or happen to be living in the Capital, I would recommend visiting some of these London coffee shops when you go out for a catch up with your friends!<\/p>\n<h2>Chaiiwala (Green Street, East Ham &amp; Various Other Locations)<\/h2>\n<p>Located on Green Street, East London, <em>Chaiiwala <\/em>is an Indian-infused coffee shop that has a variety of beverages such as the traditional chai with spices, chai latte and many more. The d\u00e9cor and serving style tastefully embody the street food life found in India.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the price point of their menu, it is considerately priced and you are served with a wholesome plate of home-style food. This coffee shop is worth checking out if you\u2019re feeling adventurous and want to branch out and try something a little different.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<h2>Le Pain Quotidien (Chain coffee shop, several locations)<\/h2>\n<p>This beautiful coffee shop is one of my absolute favourites. Since visiting France last year, I had yet to find a caf\u00e9 that shared a similarity of the baked goods as France. <em>Le Pain<\/em> <em>Quotidien <\/em>welcomes you with warmth from the mahogany finish and candlelit tables that are reminiscent of the French countryside. Looking at their price point, it would be similar to one of Starbucks\u2019 lattes. With <em>Le Pain,<\/em> you are guaranteed with a rich and satisfying cup of coffee and a well-baked almond croissant.<\/p>\n<h2>Kaffeine (East Castle, Fitzrovia)<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s no such thing as too much <em>Kaffeine<\/em>. This little coffee store is located minutes away from Oxford Circus, perfect when you have done a long day of shopping. If you work nearby the coffee store and don\u2019t have enough time to grab a quick bite or a little drink, <em>Kaffeine<\/em> delivers straight to you.<\/p>\n<p>The place itself is very modern, relaxed and welcoming and their food service is immaculate. They have a wide selection of baked goods from croissants to cakes and smooth tasting coffee that wakes you up after a long day.<\/p>\n<h2>Peggy Porschen Belgravia (Belgravia, Chelsea)<\/h2>\n<p>Perfect for the gram, <em>Peggy Porschen<\/em> is known for its aesthetic floral d\u00e9cor. It definitely embodies the <em>Made in Chelsea<\/em> lifestyle with its bourgeois and contemporary sophisticated appeal. From all the talk on social media, it is a place worth visiting for formalities or small special occasions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<h2>Br\u00fc Coffee and Gelato (St Georges Shopping Centre, Harrow-on-the-Hill)<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most unique and relaxed London coffee shops that have a very 90s vibe. It\u2019s a very family-friendly environment that offers a variety of different board games to pass the time. As suggested in the name, not only does this place offer handcrafted coffee, but wonderfully refreshing teas and cool drinks. If you&#8217;re looking for something to bite, I would recommend trying their grilled cheese sandwiches. It\u2019s completely flavoursome and not as pricey as Starbucks for their little-to-nothing filling.<\/p>\n<h2>Elan Caf\u00e9 (Park Lane, Mayfair &amp; other locations)<\/h2>\n<p><em>Elan Caf\u00e9<\/em> is widely known for its floral aesthetics and its healthy eating cuisine. Although on the pricier side of life, it truly is a treat as you are greeted with fresh flavours and exotic breakfast flavours. The caf\u00e9 caters to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian alike and serves halal food for Muslim customers.<\/p>\n<h2>Said Dal 1923 (Soho, Broadwick Street &amp; Fitzrovia)<\/h2>\n<p>Renowned for its beautifully rich melted chocolate and chocolate moulds, <em>Said Dal<\/em> is a fantastic little spot for a pick-me-up. <em>Said Dal<\/em> is the oldest Italian Coffee shop in Rome which can now be found in Soho and Fitzrovia. This Italian caf\u00e9 personifies all things Roman which can be seen through its decorative silver chocolate moulds hanging from the walls.<\/p>\n<h2>Dominique Ansel Bakery (Belgravia, Chelsea)<\/h2>\n<p>The home of the cronut.<em> Dominique Ansel\u2019s Bakery<\/em> is a fantastic gem just found in the busy office area of Victoria, London. <em>Ansel&#8217;s Bakery<\/em> has the finest pastries accompanied by a rich macchiato for a little refreshment. The bakery is extremely spacious and the menu caters from breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. If you&#8217;re a huge fan of fine pastries, I guarantee you this is the place to be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<h3>Are there any London coffee shops I&#8217;ve missed off my list?
