The CoffeeWorks Project

This place is located close to both the Tube and bus stops that frequently go by Angel. It’s an easy place to meet up with friends any time of the day. It’s always buzzing at every hour from open to close, but the turnover of folks moving from table to table is pretty high so if even when it’s crowded, just wait it out a bit longer and you’ll find a table soon enough.
I go here when i’m working on projects with friends. There are spacious tables and comfortable seats for you to set yourself up for a long chat, free WiFi and they’re pretty laptop friendly too. The atmosphere is relaxed enough for you to unwind after a busy day, but it also works well as a place to get stuff done! It reminds me of sitting in my patio on a lazy afternoon back home in Australia :-)
The coffee and hot chocolate here are consistently good. A tad on the pricey side, but you pay for consistency and the atmosphere of being in a fairly hip joint. The service is quick and efficient. I’ve never waited more than a minute to get served and have something piping hot in my hand.
If you don’t mind the crowds or a good, short queue — give it a go next time you’re in Angel!

Awesome coffee shop — very cozy, free wifi and most importantly good coffee and food. It does get crowded so if you plan to hang out and do some work or pretend to do work, you might have to wait a few minutes for a seat.

A very nice place that serves excellent coffee and an array of sweet and savory items to nibble on. Has free wifi, so it tends to get packed with people working. They have multiple single origin pour over coffee options that are worth the wait.

It’s a busy place and very popular.
But times I had to wait a least five minutes for my flat white as they had a back up of orders and orders were still flying in when I had paid for mine.
I sat in once and I had a flat white on another occasion to take away.
On the first occasion I had the flat white with the amazing caramel and apple muffin! By far the best muffin I’ve ever tasted! It was so good, I’m salivating at the thought of it now!
Both flat whites were sheer perfection even if I had to wait over five minutes. It was well worth the wait in my opinion.
Service at the till was quick and friendly but I think they so quick the barista was not as quick as too keep up. But on the other hand it’s best not to rush somethings!
I’m definitely putting this on my returning visit to the area! Hell yeah, I’d be stupid not to!

Aaah, le calme :)

Close to perfection! Great staff, very cool ambiance, nice little garden and of course amazing coffee. Always busy but you can understand why!

This shop is adorably located on the pedestrian Camden Passage. I love that they source their coffees from all around. Had the Nicaraguan house blend over ice and I wish it was never ending. Enjoyed it immensely. Will be going back.

Probably my favorite coffee shop in London. Very hip and in a good location in Camden passage in islington. The cortado and almond croissant is our go to order. The espresso is always bitter even though the beans are different every time
Sometimes the chairs aw a little uncomfortable but other than that no complaints.

My mum was visiting and we had been joking about all things hipster so I thought it’d be fun to have her try a flat white.
I wanted it to be a quality coffee, obviously, so we went to The CoffeeWorks Project after strolling the antiques market in Camden Passage.
She liked her coffee but didn’t find it especially remarkable either. The soy cap I had was really good and we both enjoyed the courgette, lime, and pistachio loaf we shared.
It’s a really nice open space and there’s a pretty backyard aswell.
Stop by when you’re in the area!

Coffee is solid, but the real purpose of this review is to alert you, dear coffee searchers, of the rather quaint and secluded backyard garden on premises! Escape upper street here.

I’ve been vacationing in Europe for almost 3 weeks and coffee has been a necessity nearly every day, sometimes twice. Coming from the United States, I’m used to getting a giant Starbucks the size of a small dog, so coming to Europe was a bit of a coffee shock as the coffees here are small, but I’m here to say that quality over quantity always wins in the world of espresso.
It was a cool day, in the mid 70’s but we had biked 3 miles to get here so a cold drink sounded great. I spoke with a barista and asked them how they make a mocha, and was pleasantly surprised that they use real dark chocolate. So I decided to get a Iced Mocha Macchiato (I’m kind of a gluten for chocolate.) I’ve had probably 50 Mocha’s from all sorts of different coffee shops and this was the best I’ve ever had. Period.
They mix espresso, milk and no sugar added real dark chocolate flakes together and then steam the whole thing which gives it a thick, creamy consistency. They then poor it over ice and BAM! A-​Maze-​zing! I would highly recommend this place!

New to the neighborhood, my girlfriend was showing me all the little places around to get great coffee and this is definitely one of them. The atmosphere is really lovely, with lots of seating, though I didn’t get a chance to spend much time in-​shop yet. The staff was warm and friendly and the sammiches (SAMMICHES!) looked so delicious, I can’t wait to go back and try something… especially if I can sit in their cute garden.
I had a delicious iced Americano with soya — it could’ve used a bit more ice in my opinion, but that’s my own fault for not saying so. I tasted my girlfriend’s cold brew, too, which was very smooth, but still quite potent.
I’d be one of those people hanging out with my laptop taking up space, most likely since I’m one of the scourge of designers that frequent these types of places, but it beats the hell out of working home alone. I’ll inevitably be back for more coffee… and sammiches.

My husband has been on my case to check-​out CoffeeWorks Project and report back to him, so that is what I did today, the first day of summer and also a day I have the heat cranked on full blast in my flat. WTH.
I arrived shortly after noon and all seats were taken aside from two stools along the narrow bars along the front windows. I agree with the décor of the space being industrial and while I was waiting three-​deep in the toilet queue, I really had to think of what industrial décor meant. What it means is that the space will feel unfinished and likely a bit grubby. Grubby is not to be confused with dirty. The space was not dirty, it was just grubby. Take the toilet as example. I don’t know why establishments in this country do not spend money on renovating toilets.
The furniture is reclaimed furniture and I agree with a prior review’s sentiment about being over the whole reclaimed furniture phase. Reclaimed furniture = uncomfortable furniture. Let’s be honest here, there have been great advances in the comfort of furniture over the past two centuries. Though the stool I was sat at was padded, I found the bar to be about two inches too high for typing away on my MacBook Air. I can’t imagine anyone shorter than me being even remotely comfortable sitting at the bar.
There are only a few tables and I got the feeling of people being more-​than-​welcoming for you to join their table. Why? Because they have no choice. One person cannot occupy a four-​person table when only 3 tables exist. So what is a four-​person table turns into four individual people sitting at a table, all scrunched together and trying not to get in anyone else’s space.
As for the coffee, I ordered a cappuccino and though others have noted that the coffee is a bit pricey, I didn’t think £2.80 was too much to ask. It tasted great given the cold temperatures and gail force winds I battled to get to CWP. Service was good and wifi was super fast. I’d return but likely at a more off-​peak time of day.

Coffee tastes like it was made by an automated machine. The milk had bubbles and wasn’t made properly. I liked the place though and the people watching was good. It’s very hectic, so it’s good for coffee to go.

Those guys do the best cakes. Seriously. Especially their salted caramel brownies!
Members of staff are all very welcoming and knowledgeable, so if you’re a bit of a coffee newbie like me, just ask for help and they’ll help you find your perfect cup!

GREAT COFFEE ALERT. But also INDUSTRIAL DECOR alert. And HIP STAFF ALERT. But now please enough with this COMMUNAL TABLE type thing. Nobody wants to be your friend, okay?! Not even in Angel.
How would you describe a place that smells at the same time like great coffee and great food? (trust my Italian-​ness on that) it’s just oh-​so-​good. And staff is nice — yes, I’m surprised because they also look great and work so hard.
Try their sandwiches, and their croissants. Soy choices are insanely good here so give them a shot!

Good ingredients and light atmosphere + relative ease of finding space even on a busy Sunday brunch time. And did i mention good coffee to wake people up and nice waiters for someone to smile to?

If, like me, Coffee is an hourly thought then get yourself down here. It’s one of the best cups of coffee I’ve had in the capital.
The setting is simple and puts the drinks at the centre of the process (how it should be done). White walls and exposed brick surround plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There’s also an amazing outdoor deck out the back, which I’m told hosts yoga and other activities along the lines of…
So then, the coffee… I drink it black so I initially went for a normal Americano. The brew was different and certainly could taste the quality of the bean. The staff take pride in everything they make and it certainly comes through in the cup. Next (and after waiting for the caffeine shakes to die down) I had a long black, and this was insane. The blend that day was a fruity but strong Colombian coffee, dark, rich and very more-​ish. I’d more than recommend any coffee lover to try it out.
The place had an extensive menus of other drinks, hot teas, soft drinks and also any order of coffee is available on ice. Really good!
A few cakes and a real local, creative feel helped put this spot on the map for me. I’ll be back very soon. (I could be there now!)

Very busy, happening place on a Saturday around noon. They went light on the milk in my flat white, which let the acidic and chocolate notes in the espresso rise through, but if you’re looking for a more usual balance I would order a cappuccino or a latte. Slightly towards the upper end of typical coffee pricing range at £2.80 for a flat white.
Stylish interior, cute back garden, but it was hard to find a place to sit and people continued to pile up in line and milling around to find seating as we quickly gulped our coffees.

I spotted this coffee shop from Upper Street where I was having lunch at. Looks like a nice artisan coffee shop from far. After meal we had a walk around angel and decided to come here for coffee. It is just right behind of superdry store. From outside it looks like a nice artisan coffee shop. Black and white simple and urban design concept. Very nice atmosphere to chill and have a cup of coffee
I’m a flat white lover. I know what I want once I spotted this in their menu. I ordered 2 flat whites and a piece of brownie.
the size is rather small for the price of £2.80 for a cup of coffee like an expresso size. The coffee if not as smooth as I expected. There is a tiny bit of sourish of the coffee when it come to the end of the taste… Not sure if is because of the coffee bean type.
The tea menu looks interesting. If I would come back again I would definitely tried out the tea range like oolong, jap green tea, peony, rooibos, etc… But again £3.50 for tea… hmmm let see…

The coffee is good. The ambiance is nice and cozy, and the smells of the food are amazing. Next time I go, I’ll have to try out the food. BUT, this place isn’t on my must go again list anytime soon. Seats are nearly impossible to snag because of all the lap top ppl cozying up for hours and also the coffee size is so small for the price you pay. I got a long black… I don’t know why they call it «long» black… they should call it small black. It’s a simple black coffee, why do places skimp on it so much? Just a-​ok for me.
