FCB Coffee Paddington: Reviews & Ratings
Not just the best coffee in Paddington station, but one of the best coffees anywhere in London. Extremely consistent and always a great taste. Service is quick and friendly. I would choose here over anywhere nearby, especially the well known chains.
Strawberry ice matcha it was very good. Thank you Mo to suggest me
Really lovely coffee. I'm addicted to the filter, but they offer interesting coffees and deliciously different pastries. Hot rolls as well. Staff are always friendly and good quick service. It's a warm shop so sitting down at the benches is nice.
I’m not sure why so many poor reviews. I’ve been here many times at rush hour and the staff have been great, getting me my coffee in time for my train. Croissants and other little bites are good took the . For those complaining about price / cup size - go to McDonald’s or Starbucks, FCB is not about that!
My phone has died and I came in this coffee shop wondering maybe they can borrow me a charger, two friendly staffs helped me out, they literally saved my life, I couldn’t go anywhere since I have no cash. Besides this, the coffee was great.
What happens when you combine the best coffee in London with superb customer service and a chilled cafe vibe? You get FCB coffee in Paddington of course!! Congrats to the fab Radvile for getting my day off to such a flying start !!
Couldn’t find the review page for the Paddington Lounge store but, Absolutely lovely experience. Got hit with a Train Delay today morning and popped by upstairs to have a Flat White and a Bacon Brioche Sandwich and they did not disappoint my belly. They have a range of Hot Drinks including Iced Drinks too! The Two Gentlemen were very kind and welcoming and even suggested a different coffee bean for me to try called their “Guest Roast”. For all my coffee lovers this is a beautiful rich Espresso you should try! Very Lovely staff, Calm and relaxing atmosphere for those who would like a nice sit down to work or to wait for your train! Prices are expected due to the quality of their coffees and food. Would suggest popping by when you have the chance upstairs! P.S. I found out this is where the old Paddington Cafe used to be!
Agne was superb! I came in for a cuppa yet her service after a long day, made it even better! Thank you for your sprinkle of charm making the coffee more enjoyable!
