Story Coffee

Apparently they have this no laptop rule in the inside part of the cafe, which is ridiculous. It is not obvious from the shop front. They put it on a tiny piece of paper on the till relying on you seeing it. And if you don't, you would have only found out after having ordered and gone in to see what's on the table. This is not on. If you have the audacity to ban laptops, make it VERY clear upfront. They charge £3 for a have-in tea. In my opinion I didn’t pay £3 for the tea, I am paying to use the real estate - the use of space, electricity, service. Who doesn’t know how to make their own tea? A tea bag is 5p, a dash of milk another 5p, hot water another 5p max - no one is buying a 15p cup of tea for £3 and not be allowed to sit inside to use their laptop! Crucially, the tea wasn’t even great. All this while I sat outside in the cold there was hardly anyone using the space inside. Also, it’s just laptops and iPads that are banned, phones aren’t. Baffling.

I have been going to Story Coffee for the last six years. I go there everyday for my coffee fix. My morning starts on a good note after I have had their coffee which is so consistent and tastes amazing. The staff are so welcoming, friendly and attentive. The baristas are so well trained and that is why each cup of coffee is always the same. I would highly recommend this coffee shop if you have never tried it before and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed and hopefully become a regular customer

Such a lovely stop, nice it’s screen free don’t see that often. Sandwich, coffee and overall environment was a vibe

Great option for breakfast and very good service!

Coffee is cool, but the laptop policy and atmosphere is horrible, it seems like the owner wanna get more money by banning freelancers work in the cafe. If money is priority quality always is low

Visited on a Wednesday around 11am, place wasn’t packed which was nice. Wonderful location, small space with a nice relaxing atmosphere. Design is excellent. My Cortado was overall good, but not excellent. I do get fussy when it come to my coffee. when prices are on the higher side I feel comfortable with it....hence why I rated 4/5. they don’t have WiFi here which is a shame. Didn’t try their food, but all signs are promising! I would recommend highly recommend for a casual meeting with a friend or two. Oh and super clean. Nice find!

Story Coffee, the epicentre of the local community. Over the past six years I find myself consistently drawn to Story's hatch. It's not only a place for indulgent coffees, succulent toasties and buttery pastries but a hub for comfort in a multitude of ways. The super friendly staff feel like an integral part of my morning routine. Daily conversations with an array of staff members is such a welcoming touch. Always smiling, always happy and always nailing the perfect concoction of oat milk and coffee beans. The owner Sof is a gentleman and makes you feel incredibly valued as a customer. I will always bring my custom in exchange for those teal cups filled with wonderful coffee. I'm so proud to see a locally owned business succeed in my community.

Had brunch here and it was absolutely delicious! Really good food and extremely friendly staff! First time I’ve had a chai latte that wasn’t overly sweet. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back soon

Been here twice on a Saturday Morning around 11am for Brunch. Both times it's been busy but we've been able to squeeze in somewhere - although it is a little loud because of this. The first visit I had the best French toast I've ever had the pleasure of eating! It felt so perfectly put together, from the poached pear, the drizzle, the toast it's self and the portion size! On my second visit I had their Quinoa Pancakes with Ricotta which were also wonderfully filling and delicious. Only problem was that I found out I wasn't a fan of Ricotta which it was served with hadn't ever tried it before but took a risk. Wouldn't order them again due to personal preference, unless it could be served with an alternative option such as Mascarpone instead such as they had with the French Toast with was great! My partner also had the Avocado and Scrambled eggs which he has said he's yet to find a better version of in London!

Relaxed quiet atmosphere and design, friendly staff. The coffee is exceptional, and looks equally as good. The menu is simplistic and what you'd expect, albeit a bit small. The place is brilliant for a quick coffee, however the seating is definitely not intended for long stays, being a mixture of wood benches and stools. Overall an awesome small coffee shop.
