Coffee on Cannon Street
Harris & Hoole's flagship in Cannon Street is worth checking out. You order at the counter but all coffees are made at four stations beyond the order point - impressive and they must be anticipating major volumes.
We (and the staff) like the personalisation of the operation and it is part-owned by Tesco!

Ice Cream Plus
An obvious combo where you have an espresso machine, ice cream, strawberries and the current heat. Bravo to Benugo for offering Affogato (espresso coffee with ice cream) from their mobile unit in the forecourt of the British Museum.
