Coffeebreak
Attendant Coffee Roasters occupies a genuinely unusual space on Foley Street: a restored Victorian public toilet from around 1890, with original fixtures kept rather than covered up as part of the design. Reviewers describe stumbling on it almost by accident and being struck by the novelty, alongside solid specialty coffee. With a 4.7 rating from over 1,700 reviews and one of the higher culture scores in this batch, it's a memorable stop for visitors who enjoy quirky architectural history alongside their coffee.

What people say
"Stumbled across this place on Easter Monday after walking around London trying to find an open coffee shop – almost gave up until we saw this hidden gem. The entrance is so unique, it feels like you’re walking down into a Tube station. Just a few steps in and you’re immediately hit with the most amazing smell of coffee. The whole experience was spot on. The interior is incredibly stylish and unlike any typical café – really characterful, with a cool, almost underground vibe (love the old-school tiled walls and the quirky details). It’s small but full of personality. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made it even better. Coffee was excellent – properly well made. My daughter had the cheese and tomato croissant, which was simple but really delicious, buttery and fresh. Everything just worked – the atmosphere, the service, the food, the coffee. One of those places that feels a bit special and unexpected. Definitely a place I’d come back to."
