Loft Coffee Company

Nobody will mistaken this small café as a top tier coffee house, but it is decent - which is unfortunately rare in NW London. The location is convenient - just a quick jump from the Finchley Road tube station - and the Monmouth coffee beans are adequately handled. The space (which is far from being a loft) has been home to a seemingly endless run of estate agents; and it now shares a roof with one (they halved the space into two shop fronts). Regardless, it's a friendly little spot and perfect for a takeaway before you head underground.
