The Baklava Latte has become the neighbourhood's signature order for a reason. Owner-run, laptop-free, with retail beans on the counter for when one cup isn't enough.

The beans leave with regulars, but most of them came for the Baklava Latte.

Beans to go

What we love

  • Retail beans for sale, a tell that the owner is invested in what goes in the cup
  • No laptops, no toilets: a deliberate setup, not a default one
  • Baklava Latte is the neighbourhood signature; flat white is where the espresso quality shows
  • Sustainability-conscious sourcing ethos from the owner, not just the branding
  • Niche, curated playlist that matches the aesthetic intentionality of the menu

LIFT COFFEE★★★ Purist

LIFT roasts under a numbered lot system, sources direct from named producers, and sells retail from the counter. The espresso is funky and fruity; the kind you describe by what's in the cup, not the postcode.

Hermanos Colombian Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Hermanos roast their own Colombian beans, traceable to named farms, and serve filter alongside espresso at the bar. Ask the barista what's on today: they know the origin story and will tell it.

Deja Brew Coffee★★ Specialty

The owner roasts his own beans, tracks them to specific harvest lots, and pulls every shot from a kiosk inside Latimer Road station. Brazilian single-origin, rich and nutty, and he'll tell you which harvest you're drinking.
