Guests reviewing Fiena keep landing on the same two words: great coffee. As a family-run Italian cafe, bar and restaurant, we treat that as the least we can do. From 8am every day, the machine at 4 Medway Court, Judd Street pulls espresso, macchiato, cortado and flat whites for the neighbourhood between King's Cross station and Russell Square.
The full list
Cappuccino, latte, mocha and hot chocolate hold the classics. Affogato blurs the line with dessert. Syrups, oat, almond and coconut milk are all on hand, and everything on the list is available over ice when London remembers what summer is.
Coffee that comes with a kitchen
The difference between a coffee shop and a cafe-bar-restaurant is what happens next: a breakfast served until 2pm, then pasta, pizza and grills from midday. Take the espresso standing or settle into the terrace with a book, both are encouraged.
Open Monday to Saturday 8am to 10pm, Sunday 8am to 9pm. Book a table or just come by.
