Pangea Cafe 74 Commercial Street, London E1 6LY

"A cosy corner between Aldgate and Liverpool Street for a chat over a hot latte, more Italian style than Starbucks. Seating is limited and cramped up. Singles welcomed for a morning huddle from the freezing winter."

"Gabe is a sweetheart and his little dog Archie is an absolute gem. He was very accommodating to us and we chatted away the whole time we were there. We ordered 2 oat lattes and they packed a punch! Full of flavours, beautifully smooth coffee and perfect oat foam. If you’re around the Shoreditch area, do pop in to see the boys as they are such sweeties."

"Yet to try the coffee, but the matcha was surprisingly good. Would come here again for the flat white and see if anything changes from my perspective - for now, would recommend. Owner is very friendly and welcoming"

"Pangea is the perfect coffee shop. It’s tasteful decor is the ultimate accompaniment to a truly exceptional cup of coffee, made by Gabe, barista, shop owner, and most importantly, Archie’s owner. On to Archie, this pup never failed to bring a smile to my face, and that coupled with Gabe’s coffees makes for the best start to any morning."

"Love this place! The coffee is top notch, as well as mochas, latte, cappuccino, toasties chocolates and more. The service is personal and charming! Gabe, the owner is awesome and his little puppy Archie is sweet as can be. There's sometimes free house plants in coffee cups to take away, and always free coffee compost bags, which recharge roses and other plants soil... which is a bonus. Outside and indoor seating, community vibe and a puppy... what more could you want?!"
