"Alex is almost always behind the bar and will tell you where the beans came from before he pulls your cortado. Tiny room, serious cup."

What we love

  • Seasonal single-origin rotation sourced and explained by Alex at the bar
  • Freddo Macchiato and Freddo Cappuccino on the menu, from Greek espresso tradition
  • Cortado extracted to flavour, not temperature, and it shows
  • Homemade cocoa mix for the mocha

Kiss the Hippo Coffee Fitzrovia Corner★★★ Purist

Order a V60, read the tasting note while it brews, and take a bag home. Kiss the Hippo roasts its own beans and brings the full programme to this Fitzrovia corner.

WatchHouse Fitzrovia★★★ Purist

WatchHouse runs its own Coffee Lab in South London; Fitzrovia is where you taste the results. Named single origins on the batch brew and a rotating Roaster's Spotlight give you a reason to come back.

Attendant Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Attendant roasts on-site and pours named single origins as V60, AeroPress, or espresso. One of the few addresses in central London where the Roasters in the name is actually true.
