About the Vibe
Caravan City brings the same coffee-first energy that made their Exmouth Market spot a local favourite, now nestled in the heart of the City at Bloomberg Arcade. The urban-industrial space stays true to the brand's roots with a seasonally rotating menu that punches above its weight—think paprika and spring onion waffles for brunch or the jamon croquettes with saffron mayo for something more substantial. It's the kind of place where you can grab a quality coffee and a proper meal without feeling like you're in a corporate cafeteria, though you will need to embrace the hustle of the lunch rush.

Solid City brunch with great coffee
Caravan City has successfully translated the Exmouth Market vibe into the City of London, and honestly, it works. The space feels authentically urban-industrial without trying too hard, and the coffee is genuinely excellent—some of the best small-batch roasting you'll find in the area. The menu changes with the seasons, which keeps things interesting; the paprika and spring onion waffles are a standout brunch item, and the jamon croquettes with saffron mayo are a smart starter that shows they're thinking beyond just brunch fare.
The service can be hit or miss, especially during peak hours when the dining room gets packed. I've had both quick, friendly service and been left waiting for a simple tea order while others were served. The prices are reasonable for the City, and the wine list offers some decent Old World options at fair prices. It's not perfect, but it's a solid choice when you want quality food and coffee without the pretension of some of the fancier spots around Bloomberg Arcade.
