Bathroom Coffee Shop London
A bathroom most definitely worth queuing for.

You'll find the Attendant at 27A Foley Street, W1W 6DY. Nearest station is Goodge Street.
The Attendant, Fitzrovia Drink your espresso at a Victorian-era urinal in this underground-restroom-turned-coffee-bar. London, England. We enjoyed great coffee and pastries throughout London, notably Fortitude Bakehouse, but one of our favorite stops was Attendant Coffee Roaster's location in Fitzrovia.
Why was it on our radar? Because their Fitzrovia location can be found underground in a Victorian-era toilet! Make time for a coffee in the unusual setting of a converted Victorian toilet near Oxford Street. Attendant's quirky decor features the original urinals which now form part of a coffee bar, where you can pull up a stool and sip a drink while admiring the Victorian bathroom tiles. Pick from a seasonal espresso blend direct from the Attendant roastery, or single.
We're all for repurposing, but turning a grimy public bathroom into a quaint coffee shop appears to be a step too far for some. Attendant coffee shop in Fitzrovia occupies some old toilets built. The menu is impressive for a small kitchen.
They offer an extensive brunch selection, fresh pastries, and coffee made from beans they roast themselves. Attendant Coffee Roasters even sells their own branded beans, sourced and roasted locally. You can sip on-site or grab a bag to take home.
Since I visited at lunchtime, I went for their £10.95 meal deal. It includes a homemade focaccia. Visit the Attendant café for the most fascinating coffee experience in central London! From the outside it looks like nothing more than a decommissioned, late-nineteenth-century gentleman's public toilet but inside it is home to an ever-evolving vision to revolutionize the London coffee experience! Since it's opening in 2013, the Attendant has developed into one of the most photogenic.
