Doppio Coffee Muswell Hill

Exceptional Coffee, Warm Atmosphere, Friendly Team

If you meander through the streets of London seeking caffeine salvation at dawn or a cozy evening nook, Dopio might just charm its way into your heart. It’s one of those places where the warmth from the staff parallels the perfect brew they pour. The smiles and attentive service, led by the likes of Girts who seems to remember exactly how you like your coffee—extra cold and extra refreshing if iced is your order—sets Dopio apart in the bustling café scene. Morning rituals come alive here, often signaling a hug in a mug for the early birds as the space accommodates cyclists, families, and work-abashed laptop warriors alike, all under the not-so-watchful gaze of ornately decorated bare walls; a touch more greenery wouldn’t go amiss.

Though largely praised for an almost theatrical atmosphere of coziness and conviviality, Dopio occasionally wrestles with its own popularity. Sundays, in particular, can test browsing patience as one valiant soul rushes to keep the frothy dream alive against tides of eager patrons—a shout echoes across, “Could use an extra pair of hands!” Beneath minor grievances lie goodies of more harmonious tones, wherein the vegan pastries, at best warm and fragrant, lend comforting flakiness. While Wi-Fi woes temper the enthusiasm of some digital ducks in the pond—an issue deftly brushed aside by management with a shrug—the site embodies tea-stopping nostalgia at its best for those who anchor themselves less on virtual tethers and more on the spirited grounding of genuine connections over genuinely perfected brews. — Clarissa Cuisinier
