About
A specialty coffee shop and wine bar on Marlborough Court in Carnaby, Café Vins handles the transition from morning espresso to afternoon glass with the ease of a place that treats both drinks with equal seriousness.
Editors’ notes
“Nice little cafe in Carnaby Street. A little hidden, a lot less busy, a pretty place to hang out in, and great coffee. I say that’s the perfect combination for a wonderful cafe experience.”
“Summary - come here if you want gorgeous coffee (but don’t get the hot choc) and an oasis of calm minimalism to take a few breaths before diving back into London. Detail - flat white was divine! - Hot chocolate not good (couldn’t taste any chocolate and it had a strange after taste) - music and atmosphere was so relax…”
“This is probably the best flat white I’ve had in 2026 so far — perfectly balanced acidity and bitterness, smooth milk, and lovely latte art. The seating design could be better, but it might just be part of the shop’s character.”
“The matcha was so tasty! And you are so kind and sweet towards customers. Thank you so much and see you next time we are in London.”
