Intermission Coffee

A minute's walk from West Hampstead's tube and overground stations, this coffee shop is built around the idea of a pause — a proper break in the day — with 7am weekday openings that suit early commuters. Sustainability is the guiding principle here, with the team working to verify that everyone along the supply chain, from farm to cup, is treated and paid fairly. Dog-friendly and wheelchair-accessible, with outdoor seating on offer, it has clearly won over the neighbourhood, holding a 4.7 rating from nearly 400 reviews.
