Doctor Espresso CaffetteriaFulham, London

"Opposite Putney Bridge, a proper Italian caffetteria built around a vintage espresso machine and run with the warmth of a village bar. The espresso is taken seriously here, in the old way."

Kiss the Hippo Coffee Fulham Pier★★ Specialty

Kiss the Hippo runs its own roastery, and the Fulham Pier counter makes that count: flat whites with properly calibrated milk, a riverside seat worth sitting in.

Carbon Kopi★★ Specialty

The V60 menu runs three tiers, Standard through to Exclusive, which is the kind of single-origin differentiation Fulham doesn't usually offer. Guest roasters rotate year-round alongside Plot Roasting, which keeps the offer honest.

Naive★★ Specialty

The Naive Company roasts on-site and sources direct from the farms, with single origins from Colombia, Honduras and Brazil available in-cup and retail.
