Flat White

You'll find yourself wedged shoulder-to-shoulder with half of Soho's creative types on Berwick Street, nursing a seriously good coffee and pretending you're not eavesdropping on the person next to you. Flat White does the Australian café thing properly—proper espresso technique, quality milk, the works—and the brunch menu hits hard without being precious about it. It's the kind of place where regulars know the baristas by name and everyone's got a laptop or a notebook out, so there's this buzzing but somehow still manageable energy.
