Down a stairwell inside King's Cross station, past the ticket hall and the Harry Potter shop, sits a full roastery-run espresso bar with beans rotating by the week. Tell the team what you're after and they'll point you to the right cup.

The rare case of a working roastery pulling espresso from underneath King's Cross station.

What we love

  • •Roasts its own coffee, sold as retail beans with a subscription option
  • •Single-origin menu rotates with printed tasting notes, including rare and experimental lots
  • •Separate roast profiles for espresso and filter, tuned to keep the filter cups floral and acidic
  • •Tucked below street level in King's Cross station's ticket hall, by the Regents Canal exit

Hermanos Colombian Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Their own Colombian single-origins, roasted at the brand's own roastery and traceable to named producers, poured from a takeaway kiosk by the station. It's the kind of pedigree you don't expect from a coffee grabbed on the way to a train.

Frequency Coffee Kings Cross★★ Specialty

A short walk from King's Cross station, worth the detour when the alternative is a station-chain coffee before your train.

Origin Coffee★★ Specialty

Origin is one of the UK's most serious independent specialty roasters, and their British Library outpost pulls espresso and filter that actually match what the brand promises.
