Hanson St0.1 mi from Fitzrovia centrelast reviewed May 2026

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.

Alex pulls one of Fitzrovia's best cortados and sourced the beans himself.

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.
