This is the UCL Students Union cafe but is accessible to anyone who wants to. They have Good coffee, smoothies, wraps, sandwiches and hot food. It’s close to the University College Hospital, the Euston Square station and the UCL itself. The prices are reasonable and the ambience is great.

CLOSES OVER THE WEEKEND!! This is because it is a university cafe. Great place for a lovely coffee that comes in three cup sizes and a piece of pastry for reasonable prices. The staff are very friendly and nice. Also, they have lunch boxes (multiple choices of sandwiches) for many type of food. The cafe has so many seating places and the environment is so lovely.

Loved the iced coffee here, prices are so worth it. They charge 50p for a cup unless you bring your own which is amazing for the environment, we love an environmentally aware cafe. (Packaging is also made out of plants!) Servers are so sweet and fast too, will definitely be coming back .
