Welcome to Café Volt, a local gem nestled in the vibrant heart of London, located conveniently on the ground floor of The Sea Building at Great Suffolk Street. This café doesn’t just serve coffee; it serves an experience that embodies comfort and community. Walking in, you’re greeted by the intoxicating aroma of freshly brewed coffees and a cozy atmosphere adorned with bike-themed decor, reflecting its unique setting within a bike shop.

Café Volt is not just known for its exceptional brews, but it also takes pride in its fantastic selection of sandwiches and pastries.

Whether it’s a quick caffeine fix or a cozy place to settle down with your laptop, Café Volt caters to both with a peaceful ambiance that encourages relaxation and productivity.

One of the standout features of this café is its welcoming atmosphere, largely thanks to the friendly staff who remember regulars by name and their favorite orders—something that will make you feel part of the family at Café Volt. Customer 'Olly Robakova' perfectly encapsulated this sentiment: “The staff are always welcoming and friendly.” It’s the little things, like the pleasant soap in the restroom and the inviting décor, that elevate your café experience from ordinary to unforgettable, as mentioned in a review by 'TheOwensThree'.

Raclette, Parma ham and chutney sandwich is out of this world! The best sandwich I had in a while. And the coffee is really nice too. Definitely worth stopping by!

Great iced matcha latte! Sometimes coffee shops don't blend the matcha powder correctly and it leaves the powder chunks, not this place! I also appreciate the soap in the WC, it smelled wonderful.

cozy coffee place inside a bike shop, got a good cappucino with a cardamom bun, can only recommend. Not touristy, calm and quiet to enjoy.

such a cute bar. It's so quirky because there are bikes everywhere and the coffee is very good. The host was kind and helped us find just what we liked
