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.

A Hackney roaster with a bar arm that actually weighs its shots.

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
