"Roasting on the café floor, Colombia filter on the bar. Sit down, order a bag on the way out."
12 Castlehaven Rd, London NW1 8QU, UK
London's own roastery at BoxPark, buying from trophy farms like Hacienda La Esmeralda. Gesha, Typica Mejorado, and Pink Bourbon on the menu, with full origin data on every cup.
Part espresso bar, part coffee machine showroom: a bean shelf stocked across multiple roasts, staff who know the equipment, and flat whites that hold their own. The kind of place where the conversation about coffee goes further than the menu.
Origin Coffee on the machine, pavement tables on Regent's Park Road. Worth the stop in Primrose Hill.
