Elsewhere roasts its own coffee and runs a focused bar in Hackney where weighing shots and checking extractions is just how it works, not a talking point.

What we love

  • •Own roastery; coffee is roasted in-house, not sourced from a partner
  • •Shot weights and extraction checks are standard practice at the bar
  • •Technical consistency across visits; same discipline every time
  • •Focused setup where coffee is the point, not the backdrop

sons★★ Specialty

A hatch in St John at Hackney's courtyard, running single-origin filter as the main event. Order the Nicaraguan black on the barista's recommendation.

Lodestar Coffee★★ Specialty

Guest roasters cycle through a La Marzocco setup with hand brew and batch options alongside, and the retail shelf is stocked for people who want to take the conversation home.

Running Late Coffee★★ Specialty

The hopper changes on a calendar: a new specialty roaster gets the run of Mare Street every month, and regulars taste and score their way through it.
