Nostos Coffee

$$$$Perfect For:Coffee & A Light BiteBreakfastLunch

The people at Nostos Coffee can explain their water distilling process, and how they add individual minerals back into the water to complement different coffees—or they can just serve you a coffee so smooth you’re mentally transported to a slip ‘n’ slide. The choice is yours. This busy little Battersea cafe is constantly in motion—commuters drop in for flavoursome batch brews, those on laptops linger a little longer with creamy, iced matcha lattes, and the pocket-sized garden is a slice of zen for those eating cheese-pull-ready toasties and flaky croissants.
