The coffee shops and cafés on this list are all open past 9:00 p.m. Now, even if you’re out working or studying ate, there’s not reason not to enjoy a more low-key night out!

Kipferl Restaurant & Patisserie

Operating Hours: Monday-Saturday (10:00 a.m. -10:00 p.m.) Sunday (10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.)

When you’re after some Austrian flavour in Londontown, head on over to Kipferl Café & Kitchen.

The Camden-passage based café is not strictly coffee-based; it has all manners of Austrian food.

Named after a traditional Austrian crescent cookie that can be found all throughout Eastern Europe, Kipferl focuses on providing its customers with quality homemade treats and meals. Austrian specialties such as Wiener schnitzel, frankfurters, gulyas soups, and Kaesespaetzle are all on the menu, and can be accompanied by Austrian beer and wine, if desired.

In the morning, I find ordering a Viennese coffee incredibly delightful. The standard is on-par with things I have tasted while travelling in Austria.

Essentially, Kipferl brings an inviting international flair to Camden Passage. It’s worth checking out!
