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 from the printed single-origin list, tasting notes and farm name included, and take a bag of Kiss the Hippo's own-roasted beans home from this Fitzrovia counter.

WatchHouse Fitzrovia★★★ Purist

WatchHouse roasts its own coffee at a dedicated Coffee Lab in South London, and this Fitzrovia counter pours the results. Single origins carry tasting notes, with the Roaster's Spotlight rotating in something new to try.

Attendant Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Attendant roasts its own and pours named single origins as V60, AeroPress, or espresso. The Roasters in the name is their own operation, not a supplier's.
