Charming café; perfect for solo bookworms.

Clerkenwells Coffee & Books is a lovely little nook for bookworms and coffee aficionados alike. Tess welcomes you with a smile, and you can sip your brew while browsing through a carefully curated selection of books. V M thinks it’s a peach, and honestly, who wouldn’t want to sit in such a cozy spot? The coffee is reasonably priced, and it’s a fantastic place to steal an hour or two.

Now, while the vibe is mostly positive, it’s a tiny space with limited seating, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself sharing your table with a fellow book lover. It’s a charming location to unwind, but it may not be the best spot for large groups. If you’re in the area and need a caffeine fix, this is the place to be.
