The in-house roastery on Portobello Road has built a loyal following who come specifically to buy beans. The staff know what they're selling.

One of London's original independent roasteries, still on Portobello, still roasting.

LIFT COFFEE★★★ Purist

LIFT roasts under a numbered lot system, sources direct from named producers, and sells retail from the counter. The espresso is funky and fruity; the kind you describe by what's in the cup, not the postcode.

Hermanos Colombian Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Hermanos roast their own Colombian beans, traceable to named farms, and serve filter alongside espresso at the bar. Ask the barista what's on today: they know the origin story and will tell it.

Deja Brew Coffee★★ Specialty

The owner roasts his own beans, tracks them to specific harvest lots, and pulls every shot from a kiosk inside Latimer Road station. Brazilian single-origin, rich and nutty, and he'll tell you which harvest you're drinking.
