Story Coffee Reviews Summary

Coffee Quality

Pros:

• "As a coffee aficionado, I must start by praising their espresso. The richness and smoothness of the espresso were unparalleled, devoid of any hint of bitterness or sourness."
• "Their coffee is one of the best in town. The aroma and acidity that they complement each other create a smooth taste."
• "Definitely one of, if not the best, coffees in London for my £3.60! Coffee is well balanced and just the right level of bitterness for me."
• "The coffee had a rich flavor and the brunch was a memorable experience that left me with a sense of culinary satisfaction."

Cons:

• "Their coffee is very good but very inconsistent in how they make them."
• "Overpriced coffee which isn't particularly good."
• "Bought a croissant for £2.40. It was dry, a little stale and obviously from a packet rather than freshly baked."
• "My cappuccino was filled with milk without any foam and there was no taste of coffee inside it. It is really bad coffee."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Their scrambled eggs were cooked to perfection, striking the ideal balance between being slightly runny and boasting an incredible, vibrant color."
• "I had fun just sipping a cup of coffee and a toast with avocado on the side. Kudos to the team!"
• "The only downside is the limited menu, would love to see more options. Overall an amazing spot for luxurious coffee and proper 'coffee shop vibes.'"
• "I enjoyed a good quality iced coffee here and enviously looked on at the brunches which looked amazing!"

Cons:

• "I got the scrambled eggs on sourdough which was delicious however a small portion for £12."
• "Rip-off for coeliacs, and dirty seats for such a new venue."
• "Choices are very limited if you have coeliac disease and are vegan like me."
• "The food menu is also quite limited so you pay a lot for some pretty unimaginative concoctions."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "The staff was friendly, attentive and clearly passionate about coffee."
• "Great atmosphere, staff are very sleepy and not very attentive. To call the menu brunch is completely false advertising, no hot food available apart from egg and toast.."
• "The staff are friendly and knowledgeable the atmosphere and the music is chilled and comfy!"
• "Being a coffee enthusiast, and more importantly a fan of independent coffee shops, I was pleasantly surprised with not only the quality of the coffee and food but the level of customer service."

Cons:

• "The staff is clearly only there to fill the space but not for trying to please customers or just making their own day brighter."
• "I asked for an iced coffee, and their eyes almost went rolling to the back of their heads."
• "Rude and unhelpful staff - I’ve been there a few times and I’ve never been happy."
• "Good coffee / food but the attitude from staff towards customers sitting in for brunch was 0 stars."

Atmosphere and Ambiance

Pros:

• "Lovely little coffee place. Good music too."
• "I visited here in September 2022 and have to say I really liked the café. Very airy, fresh look and feel."
• "I was really happy with my coffee every time I visited and the staff are super nice and accommodating."
• "Story Coffee has truly put Wandsworth on the specialty coffee map and the lush interiors and outdoor space overlooking the River Wandle and Ram Quarter making this a perfect meeting spot."

Cons:

• "DO NOT GO IF YOU HAVE A CHILD AND STROLLER!"
• "Worst managed coffee shop I've ever been to. Dogs not allowed in, laptops not allowed, breakfast area not open during the week, it's akin to a good communist regime."
• "It’s not a children friendly cafe. I went there one weekend near closing time, so I sat at one of the tables with my little one napping in the buggy just beside me."
• "Very disappointed, no atmosphere whatsoever, place felt stale with no music."
