XOXO Coffee & Dessert

Tucked away on Kennington Lane, this is the kind of place where you'll spot regulars nursing flat whites at 3pm on a Tuesday without a shred of self-consciousness. The coffee's properly done—they clearly know what they're doing with the machine—and pairs brilliantly with their dessert counter, which changes enough to keep you coming back. It's not trying to be cool or Instagram-bait; it's just genuinely good at what it does. The vibe is understated and welcoming, perfect for a proper catch-up or solo work session if you can nab a table.
