When it comes to cafés, Covent Garden boasts an array of heavenly tea salons, irresistible patisserie pit-stops and cool coffee bars, bringing you the very best of café culture in the heart of London.
Our cafés take you all the way from Portugal at Santa Nata to France with Chez Antoinette. Why not stop for a light lunch at 26 Grains or grab a coffee from Grind or simply watch the world go by with tea and macarons on Ladurée’s terrace?
Coffee lovers are well catered for in Covent Garden, where every cup is crafted with care and character. At Monmouth Coffee, a pioneer in London’s speciality scene, you’ll find queues forming early for their rich, responsibly sourced brews, a testament to decades of dedication to quality. Just around the corner, Watch House brings its modern coffeehouse ethos to two striking locations: the sleek, design-led space on St Martin’s Lane and the tranquil retreat on Southampton Street, both offering meticulously brewed coffee and a rotating menu of seasonal favourites.
For something a little more indulgent, Qima Café & Patisserie blends rare Yemeni beans with French-inspired patisserie in a setting that feels part coffee lab, part art gallery. Whether you're after a quick espresso hit or a slow sip in stylish surroundings, Covent Garden’s speciality coffee scene is all about raising the bar, one perfectly poured cup at a time.
