Arise Coffee Roasters 7 Oak Road, London W5 3SS

"Visited last weekend for brunch. Had the eggs royale with smoked salmon, an oat latte and the oat pancakes. Coffee was lovely and the food delicious (especially the oat pancakes). Staff on the day were both very friendly. Highly recommend to all and will definitely be coming back. *Ambiance could be better."

"The first time I visited Arise I tried the Hong Kong milk tea. Which was just like tea I’ve had in Asia. Strong black tea with a lot of milk. I loved it. The food menu looked appetising, and I would definitely return to try some. They have some unique options which makes a change from the coffee shops in the area. There was a nice vibe, with many locals who enjoy their coffee and getting to know their friendly baristas. The gentleman barista was very knowledgeable about his coffee beans and also mentioned that at quiet times, you can try out single and blends. The second time I visited there was a beautiful scent of roasting coffee in the air. They blend the coffee on site, so you always get a fresh batch. You even have the option to buy coffee beans and on the spot roasted/ground beans, in your own containers. Saving on plastic and packaging. I tried the house blend coffee, but I felt the balance between milk and coffee may have been off, as it tasted almost like filter coffee. I also had a coffee bun. Like some Asian desserts, the bun was not too sweet, light, bouncy and complimented the coffee well. It was very busy, so I’m hoping it was just a bad day for them. I will still return as the staff are friendly and helpful; the tea was good and the vibe was relaxed. I am looking forward to trying some of the unusual food options"

"Visited this place for this first time and for a change form the coffee shop on the corner! Was pleasantly surprised with the lovely service, chatty Baristas, great vibes/ambience and smart/chic furniture!! Good space, comfortable seating, plenty of powerpoints which came in handy for charging laptop inbetween meetings and the coffee was decent too!!! The menu does offer some good food options too. Would definitely recommend this place!"

"Lovely coffee and brunch spot. Some really interesting coffees and food to choose from. They do brunch from 9.00-16.30 and the menu was great and very varied with some good veggie options. I had the Vietnamese coffee and breakfast veggie bento which was delicious. I was given a fantastically detailed description of the Vietnamese coffee from the barrista and it lived up to expectations! They also had japanese coffee, Turkish, lots to try (and normal coffee and tea aswell). Others in my group also had pancakes with bacon and eggs Benedict, both with good reviews. It's got seating inside and a lovely outside seating area on a quiet courtyard. Would recommend!"
