Brilliant little cafe near Waterloo Station. The bacon melt bagel was lovely with plenty of filling and well worth the price. Staff are very efficient! Would recommend to try if you are looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite to eat!
These guys make the best coffee in London. They know their craft and nail it. I come to London once a year for a week and they never forget me or what I have. The food is also fresh and delicious and well presented. It’s also I’ve discovered this time the cheapest you will find in SE1. If your in London and need proper coffee(every time) look no further
Great coffee, bagels and desserts. Went there for breakfast/brunch 3 times during my 1 week trip- that's how good it is
I recently visited Sista Barista in London and enjoyed a delightful bagel with sausage, egg, and bacon. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing breakfast. The bagel was perfectly toasted, with a nice crunch on the outside and a soft, chewy interior. The sausage was flavorful and juicy, complemented by the perfectly cooked egg and crispy bacon. The combination of these ingredients made for a satisfying and hearty breakfast. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. I highly recommend Sista Barista for anyone looking for a delicious breakfast in a warm and inviting setting. I'll definitely be returning for more!
Cute small corner coffee shop. Fast and friendly. Great coffee Bagel sandwich’s are delicious. They have GLUTEN FREE bagels that actually taste great
Takeout sausage cheese melt bagel taste good good and satisfied. Would try another one with coffee next time back If there’s an available toilet would be perfect to stay a little while I’m pregnant.
Fresh delicious food. Little jam. Definitely a place to stop by for a coffee and a bagel sandwich. Staff very friendly and great location.
I always see the queues in the morning for Sista Barista, so I had to check the coffee shop out for myself. I managed to visit when there weren’t many people, and sat by the window. Note this is a small place with limited seating capacity. It is more of a grab and go kind. I ordered an almond croissant and a latte (5.80). I have to say the coffee was smooth and delicious, specially the quality of the milk was very good. The price is reasonable for a large cup, compared to other coffee shops in London. I would have loved for the coffee cup to be a nicer design and not gray, as I think there could be some interesting designs made with the name of the shop, but this is just a small suggestion. I’d say this is a hidden gem of a small local coffee shop. Staff were a bit rushed, but very friendly. I recommend this place, if you’re on the go!
