One of my goto coffee place. The roast their own coffee which makes the quality of it all the more great. They offer discount to students and NHS staff. The location is extremely soothing. Food quality is also great

Really friendly staff, and great coffee. Fantastic place to grab a quick sandwich to eat when in Clerkenwell for business or leisure. Really nice atmosphere too!

What a lovely find - made my day! I often pop in here before/after I pick up my daughter from school. Excellent coffee (they roast coffee beans on site!), tasty breakfasts/lunches and very friendly staff. I find that the choice of music, the decor, the bookshelf with good reads makes it a very quirky, relaxing place to be and a welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of London streets. Great job, guys

Are you a coffee lover? You've come to the right place! This is one of my favourite coffee shops in Angel, friendly staff and delicious food too!

There's always freshly-made food at Jimmy's, and a cool quiet vibe that attracts a more sophisticated crowd ( of course that's me too!) It's flooded with cheery natural light inside, or you can sit with your coffee and home--made cake or salad outside in the sun. It feels like family..
