Really nice place with good coffee served. Also liked overall exterior and area around. Ah. Yeah. Desserts are good :) ah these almond croissants Coffee is the most important thing. So it is 5. Would be great to have a toilet, but.
The staff at Formative coffee were friendly and welcoming from start to finish. It was a refreshing change to be greeted with a smile and asked how are you! It was also great to see an independent coffee shop serving speciality coffee thriving. We had a burnt butter cookie which was delicious and 2 lattes. The coffee was perfect and the nicest latte I have had in London so far! The water given as standard with the coffee too was a small touch that made a good impression.
The decor of Formative is elegant, bright and wide-spaced with cozy ambiance & delicate furniture. The pastry options were limited. However, we visited them close to noon time, so it might have already run out. We didn't have coffee in the morning so we got 2 lattes to refresh our day. However, we didn't have a decent experience there. What really disappointed us was we ordered 2 cups of Latte, but the portion was different and the staff tried to cover the one with less coffee with a lid.
