Beans & Beats★★ Specialty

The kind of place where the barista's description of the shot is more useful than the menu.

Addis in Brixton★★ Specialty

Own-roasted Ethiopian coffee served in traditional ceremony style, with water and espresso cups, off Brixton Market. The cultural grounding here is genuine, not decorative.

Door★★ Specialty

Hot Drops, the regular tasting format, walks you through Assembly Coffee's range with a barista who knows the sourcing. Volcano Coffee's team runs the classes, and the espresso session covers grind weight, not enthusiasm.
