It’s cool when your favorite café makes great coffee, but even way cooler when it’s named one of the most beautiful in the world! Two of London’s most beloved cafes in the vibrant Soho district have made the list. According to a recent ranking by The Telegraph, Bar Italia and Algerian Coffee Stores hold the third and fourth spots, respectively, for the most beautiful coffee shops in the world.

Bar Italia, a neon-lit joint established in 1949, offers a taste of classic Italian style coffee. This Soho staple pre-dates the coffee craze of the 1950s, and its warm, cluttered ambience is a testament to its rich history. It serves authentic Italian coffee from a vintage Gaggia machine, from 7 to 4 am. It also serves pastries, sandwiches and booze. The café is a portal to a bygone era, and it’s no wonder it has inspired artists and musicians, becoming the subject of a song by the rock band Pulp.

Algerian Coffee Stores, established in 1887, is another Soho legend, ranking fourth place. This small, aromatic haven isn’t known for plush seating, but rather for its focus on the bean itself. Here, you’ll find an endless display of over 96 coffee blends, each roasted to perfection and ready to be enjoyed as a takeaway or purchased whole bean. The takeaway coffee spot is known for its easy, almost historic atmosphere and the strong aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

Whether you’re a coffee aficionado or simply seeking a charming escape, these two London gems are must-visits for any traveler seeking an aesthetically pleasing and culturally rich coffee experience.
