Ray hand-brews Yunnan single-origins and has run cupping sessions for customers who want to know what they're drinking. Not a walk-in; a destination on Leather Lane.

Ray hand-brews Yunnan single-origins and explains the cup before you ask.

Pour-over

What we love

  • Beans sourced from multiple suppliers; selection rotates
  • Filter the primary offer; pour-over done to order
  • Ceremonial-grade matcha prepared by hand alongside the coffee programme
  • Asian specialty coffee by intent: origins chosen for character, not familiarity

Colonna & Small's★★★ Purist

The London branch of Colonna Coffee, where Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood's three UK Barista Championships translate into three rotating single-origin filters and a separate espresso track. The barista will help you choose; order the Pulsar-brewed filter.

Prufrock Coffee★★★ Purist

Depending on the week, the filter board is La Cabra, Tim Wendelboe, or Coffee Collective. A guest espresso slot runs alongside the house programme, with baristas who know both well enough to make the case for either.

Sofu Coffee★★ Specialty

A Japanese-influenced Clerkenwell bar where a Bao-alumni pastry chef's matcha canelé is on the counter and the espresso comes in ceramics. The coffee earns its company.
