Cafe KOKO is a new, lively day-to-night eatery and music venue in Camden with music at its core, situated behind London’s iconic KOKO, serving up soulful Italian cooking with a modern twist and with expertly curated music playing at all times. Cafe KOKO is a new addition to KOKO which reopened in April following a spectacular three-year restoration and redevelopment.
Cafe KOKO is a favourite amongst musicians; it’s where Stormzy held his birthday party; Nicki Minaj stopped traffic for her meet and greet, whilst artists playing the theatre are often seen hanging in the Cafe beforehand. A carefully curated art and photography collection is exhibited on the walls, referencing the theatre’s deep music history featuring photography of Kanye West, Grace Jones and Anderson Paak, along with original works by David Shrigley and emerging star Joachim Lambrechts. Drawing inspiration from the new generation of trattoria seen in LA and New York, Executive chef Andreas Engberg (La Petite Maison, The Arts Club) has curated a team of talented chefs from (Amazonico, Pizza Pilgrims, ROKA) and as such the venue is fast becoming a favourite with food & drink lovers and the music elite alike, who visit to pizza and Italian dishes or watch live music in a buzzy and laid-back setting.
As you might expect from an iconic music venue, expertly curated music is always playing - whether it’s live music or DJs - reflecting contemporary music across jazz, soul, Brazilian and with a nod towards hip hop culture, old and new, tying back to the venue’s roots.

Our waitress was absolutely incredible, attentive, genuinely nice, and couldn’t do enough for us. The brunch was fantastic, the music, the ambience, all top notch, but what sold it for us was the staff. Really great bunch, so friendly and welcoming. It really made my friends birthday so much more enjoyable so thank you, definitely coming back! Appreciate the vegetarian gluten free pizza too!
The ambience was beautiful, staff extremely helpful and cocktails also fantastic. The plant-based pizza "higher power" was so delicious and creamy, you wouldn't have known it was vegan! The truffle mac and cheese was also fantastic :)
Dropped in last Friday with my boyfriend and two friends, we were all planning on quiet NYE celebrations and wanted something vibey before the weekend. Food was great, our waiter Kevin was warm and really knew the menu well! Music was perfect, not too loud and the DJ had an amazing selection - we stayed for longer than planned after our meal because of her! Drinks were great - our experience was exactly what we had hoped for.
Bottom brunch on a Saturday was a great vibe. They had a live DJ and everyone was having a good time. Quite generous with the bottomless but service was slow to clear that table and being the bill.
Amazing experience. Visited for the opening weekend (Sunday) for brunch and really really enjoyed it. Food was lovely, especially dessert, which was an absolute treat. There was living Brazilian music being played which just added to an already lovely ambience. Not sure if they have live music on every weekend, but worth a visit if they do. Also looks like a great spot for preconcert drinks.
