What we love

  • Coffee by Caravan Roastery, one of London's better-regarded specialty suppliers
  • Espresso-focused menu; flat whites pulled with care
  • Doughnuts are inventive and a genuine draw, not a concession stand afterthought
  • Set within Oxo Tower Wharf, steps from the South Bank riverfront

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.
