You'd walk right past it if you weren't looking—tucked away in St Katharine's Precinct near Tower Bridge, this place feels like a local secret even though it's been pulling decent crowds. The yurt structure itself is charming without being try-hard, and it's become the sort of spot where regulars actually camp out with laptops or meet mates for a proper catch-up. The coffee is genuinely good, the food covers all bases from breakfast through to lunch, and the prices won't leave you skint. It's exactly what that stretch of the docks needed—somewhere unpretentious that doesn't charge £8 for a flat white.
