The Espresso Cartel

Great artisan coffee shop. Prices are not super high, more than justified by coffee quality. Milk steamed to perfection, latte art on point.
Pastries also very nice. Cafe has a nice warm feel and welcoming atmosphere.

What a fantastic cafe. They have so much on offer but it's very easy to understand. The coffee is delicious. We have the croissant with cheese and ham (the best I have ever had .... Ever) the tomato and courgette roll and an almond croissant. All perfect and the service was delightful. The staff are so friendly and fun. Can't wait to go back .

Was pleased to find really good coffee in the area! It isn't easy to make good non-dairy based lattes (soy, almond or coconut milk) but they did a great job. Extra points for the yummy vegan food and cosy ambiance!

It's true, the best coffee around and excellent quality food. Cheese and ham toastie super tasty. Nice selection of soft drinks. Great addition to the area.

An excellent coffee shop, very hip and on trend. Good range of pastries too.

Such a joint. Easily my favourite spot for coffee in SE London. The staff are super friendly, there's always some cool beans on rotation and they stock brewing equipment too. Go check it out.

Was a struggle to find parking however the oat latte and the almond croissant was worth it! It’s hard to find good coffee places outside of central London. This one is a gem …

Great specialty coffee shop in Catford! Tasty range of pastries and treats to pick from and a lovely cosy space to drink your coffee. Absolute vibes. Staff are always super kind, accommodating and passionate about their coffee!!

This is the best Coffee I know. I came the first day when they gave out free coffee. What a clever idea, everyone then knew they were the go to guys. Every coffee is awesome. The best espresso I've had. The flat white does all the things you want it to do. The filter is always interesting and has great aromatics. Worth buying a bag of beans on the visit too.
Lovely bunch of guys too.

Popped in after we arrived in the area and were early for an event, to kill some time. Enjoyed coffees with amazing foam art and a tasty spinach and ricotta roll and an AWESOME vegan banana and walnut bread slice, toasted. Delicious. Lovely little place, great vibe, lots of customers coming in who were warmly greeted by friendly staff. Clean cute and cosy!

My favourite cafe in Catford. Brilliant coffee - they certainly know their stuff. Excellent quality cakes, including an amazing pistachio & lemon cake and pastel de nata. Haven’t tried their sourdough toasties, but they look great. Such friendly and welcoming staff - it’s always a pleasure to visit this small but perfect cafe. I just hope they open another, larger venue in Catford at some point.

A pretty nice place to visit. It's small, but has unique pastries that taste sublime and leave no oil/ grease in their paper wrapping as an added bonus. The interior style is neat and modern. The staff are very friendly and quite cool people as well, so it's an all-round great place to visit, well-deserving of a five star rating.

These guys have been my local go to place for coffee since they opened. Fab coffee, great range of amazing pastries and fantastic customer service! So glad to have them around!

Very friendly stuff. Very delicious coffee. Best place to wait for the train.

Always efficient, friendly and excellent coffee. Love their baked goods. They can grind coffee beans you buy there too, which is handy for those without a decent grinder at home.

This place has easily become the only place in Catford for truly decent coffee. We have lived in the area for years and very glad when this place opened. Everyone working here is friendly, there is a good range of food, both savoury and sweet but you do usually have to be here earlier in the day for all the options as they go quick.

Really good range of coffee options for all tastes, along with the usual non-coffee options and a good range of cold drinks including cold coffee in summer. You can tell that all the staff are coffee lovers themselves and always willing to make recommendations on what beans to go for to match the style of coffee that you like to drink at home as well.

The location is super convenient being right near the train station and not too far from Catford Centre. While the sit in options are a bit limited (its not a big space), as others have mentioned there are plenty of plugs for laptops etc and some cool art on the walls. An easy way to kill an hour or two (of course just not at the moment, with the pandemic and all)

Highly recommend if you live locally or just happen to be in the local area looking for coffee, much better than the alternative options

Very good coffee. Lovely selection of cakes and pastries. Good vibes and friendly staff.

So happy to find this place today, best coffee in Catford.....by far!
Bright, clean and very welcoming, comfy furniture, great contemporary decor and excellent customer service. Next time I’ll make time to try some of the delicious looking snacks.

A little gem in Catford! This coffee shop is by far the best in town. The staff are always warm and friendly, coffee is top notch and the pastries delicious (my favourite being the almond croissant- so so good!!).

Friendly service and great coffee. Best in Catford hands down. Cappuccino to go was £3. Coffee filters, beans and equipment available here too
