Located in the heart of Fitzrovia and 5 minutes walk from Oxford Street, this former Victorian toilet has been lovingly transformed into one of London’s top speciality coffee & brunch cafes.
Built around 1890 and mothballed in the 1960’s, the Attendant was dormant for more than fifty years.
We pull our very own seasonal espresso blend direct from the Attendant Roastery through our shiny La Marzocco Linea GB5 as well as single origin filters from around the world via V60 Drip or Aeropress.
We serve up our seasonal home-style breakfast, brunch, lunch menus daily until 4pm as well as granola and other treats direct from the Attendant Kitchen.
Please just turn up and our friendly team of baristas will get you a coffee on the espresso bar whilst you wait for the next available table.

food drinks
LONDON | Walk down Foley Street in Fitzroy and you’ll stumble across what was once a Victorian era gentleman’s toilet but today houses The Attendant.
Food wise there’s a focused menu of very good wholesome, produce-driven seasonal breakfast and lunch items but the primary reason to come here is for the coffee.
For espresso they pull their very own house roasted seasonal blend from a La Marzocco Linea GB5 as well as single origin filters from around the world via V60 Drip or Aeropress.
On a warm day, the Joe Black cold brew is fantastic too and you can buy beans and coffee equipment if you fancy making some quality coffee at home.
Quality coffee and food in one of London’s most unique spaces makes The Attendant a must visit.

When the sun shows its face within the M25, I can’t help but sling on some trainers and go on one of my self-improving, butt-sculpting ‘power walks’, often managing an impressive 2km or 3km before spotting a new pop-up shack, all-day bistro or noodle bar and drifting in like a big-haired Bisto Kid.
A stonking new Dim Sum café in E10 serving authentic Henan soup noodles — handmade in front of you — and fresh, homemade, fried dim sum has filled me with joy (and king prawn udon) this week.
Anyway, I popped in to try the new underground café Attendant on Foley Street — down the stairs outside the Crown Sceptre pub on the corner of Foley and Great Titchfield Street, to be exact — straight from filming the Game of Thrones spin-off show I’m working on (or, as my mother calls it, ‘That Thorn show you do?
No, Attendant is actually below street level; an espresso bar in an abandoned public toilet.
Now, after two years of planning and restoration, the old loo attendant’s office has been turned into a little kitchen and the original porcelain urinals have been transformed into a line of booths at which one eats one’s lunch.

Opened in January 2013, Attendant occupies London’s most original location for a coffee bar: a late-nineteenth-century gents’ toilet.
Everyone in the young office-worker crowd looked very happy, and the food – cold sandwiches, hot sandwich of the day, various salads – looked great.
The barista, obsessively committed to his craft, apologised because the Caravan blend might have a little too much citrus flavour from sitting for just three days after roasting (he likes six).
All in all, this is a great place.
The only difficulty is resisting making jokes about Attendant’s previous life.
