Ole & Steen St James

My new favorite cafe study spot. Perfect for me to complete work and tasks. Large range of snacks,cakes, desserts and foods to enjoy! More than friendly staff are incredibly attentive to me and they always are nice to talk to at least the ones I've talked to. Truly a magnificent cafe to work quietly in though you may need noise cancelling headphones sometimes

I popped in for the first time today after having walked past many other branches in the past. I’m sure they attract other customers like me - those who are fed up with getting their overpriced sandwich in a very busy and chaotic environment with nowhere to sit. As soon as you enter, you’re struck by the sleek and modern design which instantly creates a calm and sophisticated atmosphere. There is space to look around and take in the food options without feeling harassed. The tables and chairs aren’t cramped together. I ordered a pastrami on rye sandwich which was very tasty. The coffee was fine, but nothing to write home about. I was glad it wasn’t over-roasted. I would definitely visit again. Ole & Steen is equivalent in cost to Pret and provides a much better quality of experience all round. Costa standards are going downhill fast.

Wonderful break from Costa & Starbucks.. I would definitely visit again. Had the rye bread toasties, mozzarella, and pesto.. loved the combo with a hot coffee and cinnamon bun. Pleasant atmosphere and very clean.. only downside is the staff shouting orders at the top of their voice ..no need for that, especially if a customer is there for a bit of peace and quiet..well worth a visit

Ole & Steen is an absolute delight! This charming bakery offers a wide array of delectable treats that will satisfy any craving. From their freshly baked bread to their irresistible pastries, every bite is a little piece of heaven.The atmosphere at Ole & Steen is warm and inviting, creating the perfect backdrop for a cozy coffee or a quick snack.

As someone who generally sticks to Costa due to their vouchers, I recently found myself visiting Ole & Steen, a coffee shop that I would describe as more upscale than my usual haunt. I was pleasantly surprised by my experience there. Upon entering, I immediately noticed the clean, modern atmosphere, which was quite inviting. The ambiance was pleasant and relaxing, and the staff were friendly and approachable. I would like to give a special mention to Jolie, a staff member who was not only helpful but also genuinely fun to interact with. Her cheerful demeanor made the visit even more enjoyable. The pastries on display looked absolutely scrumptious, and I couldn't resist indulging in one. I'm happy to report that it tasted just as good as it looked. Accompanying my pastry, I ordered a latte, which was also quite enjoyable. My friends and I found a bench to sit on while we savored our coffees, making for a delightful break during our day. While I don't see myself becoming a regular at Ole & Steen due to my budget-conscious habits, I must admit that it was a nice change of pace. The welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and tasty offerings made it a worthwhile visit. If you find yourself passing by and fancy a treat, Ole & Steen is a great option for a special coffee experience
