Danielle and the girls are brilliant at Jubilee Place. Always welcoming and happy to have a chat. Coffee is good. My Sister, kids & Mum come to meet me for lunch sometimes at Canary Wharf and the girls always remember them & chat to them. Keep up the good work team Cafe Brera @ Jubilee Place

The team has the best coffee they roast on their own I’ve tried so far in London, so even bought the beans as a gift to bring to my family. Staff is very friendly and welcoming - the best people to help you to start the morning. They also have a really nice selection of desserts!

We’ve been regulars at Brera in Canary Wharf for the past few years, and a big part of what keeps us coming back—apart from the excellent coffee—is the incredible team behind the bar. Anxhela, Vili, and Daniela are truly outstanding baristas. They’re warm, friendly, and consistently deliver the best coffees with a smile, no matter how busy it gets. What stands out is not just the quality of what they serve, but the consistency and care with which they do it. Over time, it’s become clear that we’re not the only ones who feel this way—there’s a whole community of regulars who come here not just for the coffee, but for the exceptional service and personal touch this trio brings day in and day out. Brera is lucky to have them, and so are we. Thank you for making our mornings (and afternoons) that much better!

This is an institution. I have been getting my daily coffee and very regular lunches here for it seems about 20 years. The produce are always fresh and service impeccable. I love it and is the best in the wharf!!!

A stylish spot in Canary Wharf for coffee and light Italian bites. Great coffee, tasty focaccia sandwiches, and a cozy atmosphere with lots of natural light. Service can be a bit rushed during busy times, but it’s a solid choice for a quick break or casual catch-up.

Absolutely loved this cafe! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—clearly made with care. I had toast al avocado and royal, and both were outstanding. The service was just as impressive—friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. Daniela and Vili made us feel right at home, and everything arrived promptly. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, perfect for a casual brunch or catching up with friends. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
