Liten Coffee: Small in Size, Big on Quality

True to its name ('liten' means 'small' in Swedish), this tiny coffee shop in South Hampstead packs a mighty punch when it comes to quality coffee and warm hospitality. Nestled on Fairhazel Gardens, Liten Coffee has established itself as a neighborhood gem that coffee enthusiasts seek out.

Exceptional Coffee Experience

Liten takes their coffee seriously, offering expertly prepared specialty drinks that showcase their dedication to the craft. Their filter coffee receives particular praise, with guests noting the care taken in sourcing beans from ethical initiatives like Women in Coffee. Beyond traditional coffee offerings, their chai latte and matcha stand out as customer favorites, prepared with ceremonial grade ingredients and traditional techniques.

Welcoming Atmosphere

What truly sets Liten apart is the friendly, conversational atmosphere created by their passionate staff. Regular customers have developed such a connection with the shop that one even gifted them a custom Lego model of the café (which you can spot on the counter). This community feeling makes Liten more than just a place to grab coffee—it's a bright spot in the neighborhood where regulars are recognized and newcomers are warmly welcomed.

Quality Offerings

While the focus is primarily on exceptional beverages, Liten also offers a select range of pastries and biscuits sourced from local bakeries. On lucky days, you might find their sought-after seasonal danish pastries, which regulars know sell out quickly. They also stock specialty coffee beans to take home and quality chocolate bars from Land Chocolate.

Whether you're a serious coffee aficionado or simply looking for a friendly place to enjoy a perfectly crafted drink, Liten Coffee delivers an experience that proves sometimes the best things come in small packages.
