Café Vins

Part espresso bar, part bookshop, this Marlborough Court spot in Soho is run by its own in-house creative team, Studio Vins, whose concepts, events and branding projects for lifestyle brands unfold in continuous collaboration with the café itself. The pairing seems to work — it holds a 4.8 rating from nearly 600 reviews — and with outdoor seating, takeaway options and a dog-friendly policy, it's as practical as it is distinctive.
