The room looks borrowed from the tattoo parlour next door, and the espresso is just as committed to the bit, extracted with real precision.

A Shoreditch counter for the roaster that names producers on every bag.

What we love

  • •Roasts its own coffee, the retail arm of the Dark Arts roasting operation
  • •Single origins are listed with named producers and tasting notes, not just a country of origin
  • •Sources single origins across multiple growing countries rather than running one house blend
  • •Beans sold retail by the bag alongside the drinks menu

Flying Horse roasts their own beans in Hackney and pours them in Shoreditch, which is as close to the source as you'll get in this corner of the city. Come for the single origins.
