The sort of coffee house you dream of finding, and then you do! A proprietor that's fantastically knowledgeable about coffee and willing to share his knowledge, old and new ways of enjoying the coffee (try the filter, it's worth it!) and a tempting array of cakes and sandwiches, plus sofas to lounge on and free wi-fi - you need never leave!

The beat up leather sofas tempted us in but there was nothing beat up about the espresso. Superb! Will be back to try their specials and check out the food offering. Highly recommended.

this is great place but .....the wifi seems to have a configuration problem for Apple products. I can access wifi with a regular laptop but not with my MacBook or iPad. Its very frustrating. Apparently I'm not the only Apple user with problems connecting at LJ. please can you look into this. thanks

Stopped in because I saw the filter coffee menu. Got this fantastic brewing contraption brought over to the table. Great tasting coffee too - I had their special - a single origin from Brazil. Very knowledgeable barista who was more than happy to Chat - such a nice change. Great coffee, great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Hello Ssumners,thank you for the great feedback, we are glad you like the Clever Coffee Drippers. We actually sell them (along with all of our fantastic coffee - wholebean or ground) in the shop. If you can't make it to the shop, we also sell all of our coffee related goodies via our new website - www. Ljcoffeehouse. Com. You can brew all of our 'coffee as it should be' at home! We hope to see you soon, introduce yourself! Kind regardslj Coffeehouse

I came upon this coffee house on my last day in London a few weeks ago. It was fantastic! The owner was kind and friendly and he made me the best Chai Latte I have ever had.

I felt like I was at home - in my local coffee shop in NYC. So, if you are looking for a great date spot - a place to unwind with some friends - or even a place to be quiet on your own - this is the place!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Knowing Soho pretty well, and always looking for loving proper coffee. I was recommended lj just off Wardour street at the Shaftesbury Ave end. It didn't fail me. Heading to a Saturday in the office, popped in to grab a coffee to keep me whilst my pc booted up. The coffee is simply delicious, full bodied, rounded, perfectly fresh.

Lj's coffee choice sits alongside great care, down to the proper shaved chocolate on top and to the fresh perfect Danish. A real find. A thorough recommendation for me. Http://www. Viewlondon. Co. Uk/images/global_btn_send. Gif

Came here because of the great review from View so thought it only fair I add my own!!

Had a double espresso first - am a coffee geek so this is my litmus test! They were off to a great start when it arrived with a glass of water - I'm amazed how few coffee places do this.

The espresso has a beautiful crema and was to die for.

The owner told me the beans are from Union Hand Roasted - a roastery in London and he was very passionate about them!

I moved on to a cappuccino and was equally impressed. Thick, dense micro bubble foam with some fantastic real chocolate pieces on top.

The atmosphere is great - it's like someone's living room - all the more so because there were three people playing scrabble in the corner.

The barista was knowledgeable, smiley, fun and enthusiastic - a rare find in Soho - I will definitely be back - Thank you ViewLondon for helping me find this place.

Simply the BEST coffee in Soho.A***Jamie

I found this coffee shop (sorry house!) in my first month of living in London, and I have never looked back.

Now instead of going to one of the 'branded coffee shops' I will always come here. Today I walked past 6 other coffee places to come here for a great takeaway coffee.

And you will find me spending a great deal of time here because it is, quite frankly, the best coffee shop (sorry house!) in London.

Every aspect is excellent. I cannot recommend this enough (have you noticed?) Keep up the good work!
