Story

Located on the busy thoroughfare of the Shoreditch Triangle in East London, this cafe was designed with the people of Shoreditch in mind. We wanted to create a hub for the local community and people from all walks of life to come and enjoy. We developed an interior that quickly detaches you from the hustle & bustle of the outside world.
Instantly recognisable by our whitewashed walls and green & white tiled bars with copper pendant lamps and zinc bar tops to match. The jewel in the crown being our home grown living plant wall which runs the entire length of the cafe

We pull our very own seasonal espresso blend direct from the Attendant Roastery through our La Marzocco Linea PB as well as single origin filters from around the world via V60 Drip or Aeropress.

We serve up our seasonal home-style breakfast, brunch, lunch menus daily until 4pm as well as granola and other treats direct from the Attendant Kitchen. We also sell beans and high quality brewing equipment. We use organic unhomogenised The Estate Dairy milk and The Rare Tea Co. loose leaf teas.

Unfortunately, we don’t take reservations as we find it fairest to operate on a first come first serve basis. Please just turn up and our friendly team of baristas will get you a coffee on the espresso bar whilst you wait for the next available table.

This cafe is definitely a surprise! I enjoyed the repurposing of space to this delicious cafe. What was once an old underground toilet, it's now a coffeeshop cafe. I was lucky enough to snag a table to enjoy my latte and breakfast sandwich. The staff was very friendly and welcoming to all customers. The coffee was delicious and the food was top notch. I definitely recommend this cafe for an enjoyable coffee and quick bite.
Quirky, unique setting with excellent friendly service and great coffee in a lovely street and area! Underground, a tiny converted Victorian lavatory yes an old gent’s toilet! with the original urinals, this is probably the most unique coffee experience. But the coffee is excellent so it’s not a gimmick, loved it!
Top 3 flat whites I have had in London. I have tried 30+ of the highest rated coffee places in the city and this has to be one of the top for great, great coffee. I ordered only a flat white both time I have been and the drink was perfect. Excellent espresso and the foam was some of the best I have ever had. I will return many times just because of this. The location is quite cool, under the street in Fitzrovia. It is an old urinal. There are enough seats for only about 10-12 people so be wary at busy times that you may need to wait if you want to stay in. They are dog friendly, but there is not a lot of space for dogs to lay on the floor. They don’t mind you working on your computer there and they have WiFi. However, due to the limited space I would suggest being considerate and not planning to be there all afternoon.
Nice coffee and food, a bit pricier than other cafés, but consider it as buying an experience of sipping a coffee in Victorian public toilets. The Attendant is very smart for choosing this location. The seating is very limited so I recommend going there before noon to avoid the crowd, and to have the place almost entirely yours to take as many photos you want. It’s table service, and you pay when you finish. So don’t just simply walk out! The staff is so nice and kind. Ask them for the wifi password if you want to use the Internet.
It’s a quirky café with a unique history. It’s actually a café converted from a Victorian-era public restroom, giving it a distinctive charm that you won't find anywhere else. The atmosphere is both cozy and unusual, making it a memorable spot to enjoy a coffee. The blend of history and modern café culture makes it a must-visit in the area.
So getting my bird into this place was actually hilarious especially as its outside a pub. Was like I'm not going into a men's piss hole. Obviously once inside it was delightful urinal. And she enjoyed some nice food and coffee whilst reminiscing about all the no doubt upmarket activities the urinals had seen. You can't just spend a penny here anymore tho inflation means it's pounds now.
I wasn’t sure what to think when my partner suggested going for a coffee in a disused public toilet, but i’d always wanted to try Attendant so was excited to visit a special venue. Obviously it was clean, but I still found the experience a bit gross - the walls are naturally grimy looking and the novelty wore off quickly for me. It’s a tiny, cramped venue with minimal seating - with barely enough space to move between the tables and urinals, it wasn’t the most comfortable experience. Still, staff were friendly and we managed to get seated. Service was good and we were brought tap water without asking, which is always appreciated. We ordered a long black and a flat white, both lovely coffees which I would recommend. Unfortunately, we then seemed to commit a cardinal sin - enjoying a pastry from a bakery down the road alongside our coffee. We were told off by staff in front of the other customers and ordered to put this away - not something I’ve ever experienced in a coffee shop before, considering we’d bought drinks. This ruined our experience and while I would try Attendant coffee again, I would not return to or recommend this venue. We also decided not to tip on this basis - a shame, as this would’ve covered the cost of a pastry bought from there. For the record, the food at Attendant looked awesome and I would try it in future. We just didn’t appreciate being treated like naughty school children when we’d bought coffees.
Someone pointed out a unique café, The Attendant, which is in a former below ground toilet. I found this one about a mile from the hotel and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. I recommend taking a minute in your visit to London to check out this unique feature. Food-wise, the menu is simple but delicious with a fair amount of breakfast options and even some lunch options; the bakery has a variety of cakes, tarts and delicious snacks
An unusual place to have coffee an old converted Victorian toilet but at the same time a somewhat very interesting location found in central London. When you go down the stairs for the first time and enter into what would have been a men's lavatory. You can see the retains of this Victorian toilet years ago, urinals and overhead wc's on the walls with white tiles and and the old style tile flooring. First thoughts are that you have traveled back in time to the art deco years of Old London. Staff are truly warm and welcoming and this is one of the few places you will find a true barista serving you coffee, even down to the smaller details are asking if you would like a glass of water with your coffee to keep your palate fresh. The food options were just right not to many whilst at the same time complementing the different types of coffee available. With regards to the price, very reasonable. This coffee house is definitely worth a visit even if you just want to soak up the history whilst drinking a very good coffee. I will definitely be going back in the very near future.
By the time we got there with my friend they only served in take away cups which was a bummer considering the unnecessary plastic pollution. I wanted to drink a batch brew but they only had cold brew at that time. Ironically, there is no costumer toilet. Despite these, the coffee quality was very good and it’s most definitely a unique place which worth the visit.
