Brewing new traditions
We’re a relaxed, alcohol-free spot bringing together locals, visitors and passers-by over comfort classics, sticky pastries and drinks. A place for leisurely lunches, afternoon catch-ups and, a moment to slow down.
First opened as Lockhart’s Cocoa Rooms in 1875, this alcohol-free cafe was a revolution in our gin-soaked capital. Each cup brought safety, comfort and cracking cocoa to the public.
Today, Temperance Cocoa Rooms keeps this same spirit alive by serving great food and non-alcoholic drinks, day and night.
Speciality hot drinks
From sunrise to sunset, pop in for a cuppa on the go or settle in for a longer visit. Start your morning with a freshly brewed coffee, join us for an afternoon cup of tea or indulge in one of our speciality hot chocolates, made with Kokoa Collection chocolate and, finished just the way you like it.
Daytime Menu
Created in collaboration with our food curator Robin Gill, the menu brings together quality ingredients, thoughtful sourcing and familiar flavours. From freshly baked Darby’s pastries to traditional and artisan sandwiches to carved-to-order specials and seasonal salads, there’s plenty to tuck into throughout the day.
Pouring through the night
From floats and refreshing zero-proof Botivo aperitivos, hot drinks paired with late-night toasties, we’re an alcohol-free space perfect for evening socialising, here for night owls, early risers and, everyone in between.
Keeping the temperance spirit alive, our alcohol-free Farringdon café is open around the clock Thursday to Sunday, offering a safe space for late-night taxi waits and comfort and calm in London’s quieter hours.
