The Glitch: Reviews & Ratings
The Glitch is one of my favourite spots in London – a little art cafe that’s full of heart. It’s queer-friendly with a welcoming vibe that makes it easy to relax and be yourself. It’s the kind of place where you can have an actual conversation without shouting over loud music, and perfect for meeting up with friends regardless of whether you drink as they serve tea and coffee well into the evening. It's a lovely alternative space to the pub scene.
Absolutely love this little hidden gem! Have been to two shows here, great intimate venue downstairs, like something straight out of Fringe. Great happy hour prices too!
Friendly queer space. Came here for the drag king event. They often have queer events and productions. Great service and really central location.
Great atmosphere to study or relax and get some work done! The music playlist is wonderful. I forget if the coffees are on the pricey side or not, but I really enjoyed sitting inside. The interiors are beautifully decorated and there are cushioned seats available.
Excellent inclusive location, happy hour (until 8pm) is fantastic. Cocktails 6 and doubles 8 Would highly recommend
Usual Coffee place was temporarily closed and stumbled across The Glitch in Lower Marsh. Quite a nice little space doing coffee, beers, wine and spirits. More of a bar vibe than a cafe but still quite busy. Well designed layout and great staff. Popped in for a quick coffee and croissant Overall, a cozy spot seamlessly blends art and cafe culture, offering a charming atmosphere to enjoy both. With friendly service and a creative vibe, it’s a must-visit for anyone in the area.
Very short trip here but caramel iced latte was excellent and the vibes were wonderful! Very LGBTQ and Leftist friendly coffee shop, made me feel super welcome.
In a word wonderful. I went here for an afternoon with some friends and was delighted by the cosy welcoming atmosphere, the staff were very friendly and the food and drinks were of fantastic quality. The menu for food could be a little larger but overall this makes a lovely hangout, a place so friendly I lost track of how long I was here in the nicest possible way. Will most certainly be back soon, highly recommended
