With London not fully recovered from the Covid period - I’m so pleased since moving to new workplace in May, to find this fabulous cafe run my two sisters in the heart of Farringdon still keeping the locals (and Posties) fed and watered at such reasonable prices and with ‘genuine home made food’. Daily specials include chicken noodle soup (as good as my mum makes), chilli con carne . . . but also cater for a traditional full English if that’s your bag! And then to top it off, as all seats were taken today to eat in, in my takeaway bag hidden at the bottom of as a festive gift! They don’t make places like this anymore, and so big shout out to Claudia and Giada - made my day!

Staff were friendly and accommodating had variety of selection of cakes and pastries to choose from everything was so fresh coffee was nice - visited there multiple times, over a few days. Got the impression staff weren’t patient, when customers were deciding on what they wanted. Would like to seen a set menu for breakfast option ( incl eggs, sausage, toast and beans. Yoghurt pots, porridge etc which I didn’t see) to choose from or set lunch menu for children consisting of sandwich, drink, crisps or fruit and one for adults to eat in or take way. ( just suggestion) One or two things were abit pricey overall loverly cafe and value for money. One staff stood out so friendly her contract was coming to an end was taking a trip to uk to see her partner in Bournemouth. ( wish you all the best and have a amazing time - thank you for your hospitality )

I recently visited Luis Cafe, and I must say, it was an amazing experience! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a great balance between modern and comfortable decor. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that everything was perfect. The coffee was absolutely delicious – rich in flavor and perfectly brewed. I also tried one of their homemade cakes, and it was simply fantastic! Fresh, moist, and full of flavor. What I loved most was the relaxed and welcoming vibe of the place. Whether you're looking for a spot to work, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a great cup of coffee, this cafe is a perfect choice. I will definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch café experience!
