Café PedlarSouth Bank, London

"A bakery on Lower Marsh where Coleman Coffee Roasters beans sit behind genuinely good pastries and sandwiches. Independent on a stretch that mostly runs on tourist trade."

What we love

  • Beans sourced from Coleman Coffee Roasters, a named specialty-adjacent roaster
  • Bakery and sandwich counter is the main draw, not the espresso
  • Latte served in 8oz rather than chain-standard sizing
  • Independent on a Lower Marsh stretch dominated by tourist-facing cafes

Origin Coffee★★★ Purist

Origin Coffee is a Cornwall roastery. At Scoresby Street, that means named single origins on the menu, a rotating filter programme, and baristas who know the sourcing story behind every cup.

The Colombian Coffee Company★★ Specialty

The arch under Flat Iron Square is a working roastery, and the coffee tastes like it. House-roasted Colombian single origins, with staff who treat the bean selection as part of the service.

Calico Coffee★★ Specialty

Several pour-overs, staff who understand the bean differences, and a room designed around nothing but the coffee.
