Reviews of Roasting Plant Coffee

N. H.

Newly opened Roasted Plant coffee shop is super fun to begin with! You can sit and watch coffee beans running through the transplant pipes to be freshly ground or roasted. Something (personally) never seen in other coffee shops before! You can chose your coffee beans tailored to your taste and preference. Also you can buy coffee beans and some other simple items such as mugs or french presses if interested. They have a number of cakes and sweets and sandwiches. Enjoyed the experience and I would definitely recommend.

J. W.

Friendly, attractive, warm & welcoming staff, great choice of coffee beans for the coffee connoisseur, plus a good selection of sandwiches, pastries, snacks & treats. Their state-of-the-art coffee machines expertly steam any type of milk and provide a consistently excellent cup of coffee, while the coffee bean's journey from roasting machine to grinding machine imparts a smell & experience like no other! Costs a somewhat pretty penny, however considering the location, service and quality of product provided, is justifiably so. Highly recommend the Almond Croissant for a sweet treat sure to satisfy any sweet tooth!

М. К.

Best latte in London, most friendly staff that always gives great advice depending on what coffee preferences I have on a particular day. The best quality beans, great milk alternatives and a very friendly atmosphere, 100% recommend! Huge thanks to Naomi - the spicy beans she recommended are now my top favourites!

A. Q.

Da Vinci would be proud! The transparent pipes carry coffee beans through them!

Z. D.

Great cafe, discovered only today. Superb "luxury" almond croissants, of excellent quality and taste, and the very best mocha I've ever had in London - thank you to my Italian server, Luca. Modern, clean setting with elaborate, space-age looking overhead pipework, presumably conveying beans from storage, through torrefaction, grinding and into the cup. Good selection of hot toasted sourdough sandwiches - bacon, smoked salmon, chicken club, ham & cheese. Amiable, professional service. Clean toilet facilities, a rarity in London cafés...

M. B.

Wow - best coffee I’ve had since I came back to the UK. Lived in Australia for 10 years where the coffee is light years ahead of my home here, but this place bucks the trend. Great service by Kai who recommended a beautiful Guatemalan roast which suited me spot on! Thanks!

Nice place with friendly staff, I ordered chai latte with coconut milk it was good but a little bit sweet , thank you

S. G.

Really good coffee, prices are a little high. The shop itself has a light and friendly atmosphere to it, the design is quite unique as you're surrounded with tubes of coffee beans. The staff are so kind and lovely and they'll definitely brighten your day. Shop can get a little loud sometimes, so wouldn't recomend for studying or intimate convos :)

K.

I love the coffee variety. Lots of great little gifts for people. Marked down a little because it starts getting pricy when you want specific beans

D. M.

Just amazing! Fantastic coffee, lovely sandwiches, awesome place. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

P. K.

The coffee at The Roasting plant on The Strand is amazing…but what’s even better is the service. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Haven’t gotten to know everyone but Naomi and the team are fabulous. This is now our regular coffee place.

J. B.

Delicious coffee. Lovely staff. So many options. Worth the wait if there is a queue.

K. A.

Having tried many places is London. Truly one of the top 3. The food is nice as well, place is clean, well designed, big windows offer plenty of natural light. Coffee is amazing. What I appreciate the most is the decaf beans. One of the very few places where decaf coffee tastes extremely close to the caffeinated one.

C. D. (.

Good coffee, nice space the funky roaster set up is very entertaining. A selection of freshly roasted coffee beans offered and selection of coffee drinks based on these coffee beans is offered. Roasted daily. Has snacks and sweet things to go with coffee. Stay in or take out. Enjoyed drinking coffee there very much.

C. M.

the Mocha coffee was really nice, felt a lot like sipping hot chocolate with extra caffeine. the place was also very comfortable and the staffs were friendly!

J. F.

Amazing coffee shop! One of my favourite elements of Roasting Plant is being able to choose my coffee bean and really personalise my coffee. The staff here are so welcoming and really helpful for navigating through the many options, giving detailed descriptions of how each different bean will taste and answering all my questions. For all the vegans out there, I would definitely say try the vegan brownie, as it is delicious! Would recommend this coffee shop time and time again.

V. P.

Toasted sandwiches are great! A big selection of coffee beans, and the amazing part is to see how they get roasted: here is a cool “Javabot”machine that roasts coffee just in front of you. Overall it’s a nice place :)

C. M.

Very good coffee and cakes, I would suggest a bit more attention towards the packaging; eat-in or take-away is served in disposable cups with lid anyhow. Lots of garbage at the end of the day.

E. S.

Love this coffee shop! Such a warm and cosy space to grab a cuppa. Such friendly staff aswell, a special shout out to Owen for being such a huge help when I couldn’t choose from all the different types of coffee. Would highly recommend!

M. F.

This is the first latte I’ve had in London that actually made my mouth water. They know what they’re doing here. It’s truly a superior cup of coffee.

A. B.

Cool unique concept 👍freshly rostering from a verity of world beans 👌 service so friendly with kind expressions on the concept 💡 enjoying my coffee ☕

G. P.

Another best coffee in London Totally recommend

R. M.

The coffee is great, and it's fun to watch the process. They today beans in store, fresh to your cup. Employees are knowledgeable and enjoy talking about the process.

I. V.

I love these guys & their robot coffee overlord providing the good stuff

T. S.

Very helpful staff, special mention to Fabio, who was happy to sort out a drink for me whilst I was attending a teams meeting, coffee god too.

Y. A.

I love the friendliness and ease of the staff here. The selection of beverages and food is broad with gluten-free and vegan options. Layout of the space and social distancing of tables is reassuring. Everything super clean and tidy -including the loos! Thank you Roasting Plant!

P. N.

Had a coffe and a hot chocolate! Both greats. I bought coffe to take home, also really good!

M. L.

Best coffee I've ever had! The selection of countries and types of blends is very interesting and every coffee is described for you to choose your favourite. Today I've had a lovely experience with Naomi, but all the employees looked so happy and kind, and very knowledgeable. Will be back again!

H. f.

Had a lovely coffee from here with an impressive selection to choose from, a barista called Owen I believe was also very bubbly and friendly upon my arrival along with the other staff members that I saw working. Great spot and great coffee!

N.

Loved the place and the coffee

L.

Our favourite coffee shop, perfect location and doesn't get too busy

C. B.

Fantastic place! The atmosphere is relaxing, the smell is just HEAVEN, as you could imagine, that caffeine fuelled air on system is a real high! The server Antonio, was very welcoming, friendly and took his time to explain to me a little and find out about what coffee would suit my tastes best, it really enhanced my first experience in the roasting plant! Thank you! In the famous words of Arnold Schwarzenegger - “Get to ze chopper?” No, that’s not it… “I’ll Be Back!” Yeah that’s the one! Keep Roasting!! Charlie B

L. B.

Nice place to visit and good atmosphere inside. However, it is a little overwhelming having to choose your type of coffee and milk when you don't know what to expect on your first visit. But really nice coffee !

S. S.

Really comforting space and quite atmosphere. The coffee is just a bit more pricy🤓

m. f.

Lovely place, delicious coffee, helpful staff especially Marnie. Next time I will definitely have a snack too

A. A.

If you want speciality coffee this is the place to go. Although oat milk latte weren't on bar of their filters

S. N.

Amazing fresh coffee. They provide a wide choice of coffee beans which makes it more unique. Nice ambience

k. a.

I love this place! Incredible coffee with a great variety of beans. I keep bringing my friends to get to know it! The atmosphere is fun, the beans flying through the tubes over your head create a kind of Willy Wonka experience. The service is great too, everyone is really kind and respectful. Oliwia especially has been wonderful! Thank you Roasting Plant.

R. H.

Delicious coffee - get to choose out of 4 beans which are freshly ground to order! Friendly staff and bright, roomy cafe!

F. O.

Average experience, blueberry muffin had very little jam/fruits, medium espresso is like a double one so far too watery. House blend is pretty good but you can choose from at least 3-4 single-origin alternatives to taste at home: self-service like at M&M's World so a 250g bag will be easily filled with 300g of coffee beans.

L. C.

Excellent coffee and environment. The choices are huge, so ideal for coffee connoisseurs.

M. P.

Great and fresh coffee, I ordered a regular latte with oat milk and tasted amazing👌, friendly service 🙂

S. C.

Amazing coffee shop that opened during lockdown that has been a wonderful place to cycle to! The coffee machines are really fun, staff are lovely, the almond croissants are the best I’ve ever had and the cafe itself Is very clean and modern, really recommend it!

L. J.

Probably the most the coolest coffee concept ive ever seen!

E. E.

Wonderful atmosphere with very friendly and helpful baristas. Good wifi as well.

C. C. L.

Just popped in after realising the coffee shop I was going to was closed. AMAZING coffee, the lady at the counter asked which coffee bean type I would like and explain what the differences were. I picked the 'smooth' coffee beans and my mocha was delicious, didn't even have to add sugar which I usually do to enjoy a coffee. I'm definitely going back.

G. K.

Very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. Great coffee. Interesting concept.

M. C.

Got my loyal customer free coffee today. With the loyalty card (every 10th coffee is free) I got try some very expensive 6£ (!) options

G. P.

Great double espresso, just what I needed after a hard day's walking around the city! Got there just before closing, and it was a spur of the moment decision to pop in, and I'm very glad I did. The very nice lady behind the till explained all the different beans available for the coffee, and the team were very polite and efficient. The kids loved how the beans shot across the room in the tubes, like a grown up version of the Willy Wonka factory.

O. J.

Amazing Coffee and Amazing atmosphere! Make sure you visit this beautiful coffee shop on the Strand! It’s like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory but for Coffee!

C. M.

Amazing amazing amazing :) really nice atmosphere and lovely coffee beans flying all round the ceiling!

J. P.

Coffee is lovely but don't like the glass - give me a cup anyday!

C. T.

Excellent coffee if youneed a pick me up.

M. H.

Oh my good god. There I was, lost and afraid on the strand. I needed coffee but didn’t know where to go. But then I saw roasting plant, standing out like a beacon of hope on a cold rainy day. I went in and Naomi greeted me like I was a lost sailor washed ashore on a caffeine oasis. She made me the best oat flat white I’d ever had. Honestly, a tear came to my eye when I finished it. I can’t tell you how much the roasting plant lifted my spirits. In a year of let downs, this little moment of coffee bliss briefly made me forget it all. You will not regret stepping foot in this establishment. It will change your life. It has mine.

F. R. H.

Cool place if you are into specialty coffee. Owen wss super helpful

M. L.

Nice coffee but the coffee funnels darting around the building make it far too loud to hear yourself talk.

D. B.

Super friendly service. Love the variety of filter coffee and the high-tech equipment to make everything fresh (i.e. the coffee beans fly through tubes around the shop directly to the machine to grind the beans on site to make your coffee)

A. S.

One of the best cafés in London. The variety of coffee beans is amazing and the staff is incredibly helpful as well. No better choice in the area.

S. A.

(Translated) I didn't want to come in but I was tempted! No Starbuck or Costa can beat this taste! Very good coffee! Besides, you can buy coffee to go in beans ... Prices vary, of course there are coffees that will cost you 60 pounds per 100 grams - but don't be afraid there are cheaper coffees. (Original) Nie chciałem wchodzić ale się skusiłem! Żaden starbuck czy Costa nie przebiją tego smaku! Bardzo dobra kawa! Po za tym możesz kupić kawę na wynos w ziarnach... Ceny są przeróżne, oczywiście są i takie kawy że wydasz 60 funtów za 100 gram - ale nie bój się są tańsze kawy.

(Translated) What a coffee !!! Amazing people, have coffee on the spot, grind on the spot and everything in front of your eyes! (Original) איזה קפה!!! אנשים מדהימים, קולים קפה במקום, טוחנים במקום והכל מול העיניים!

J. K.

(Translated) We loved the delicious coffee. Choose different flavors. Something for everyone so. Fine, clear advice on this. (Original) We vonden het heerlijke koffie. Verschillende smaken kiezen. Voor elk wat Wils dus. Fijne, duidelijke adviezen hierbij.
