Notting Hill has no shortage of flat-white-and-a-pastry cafes; Guillam is the one where the espresso gets pulled with enough care to earn praise for its crema alone.

The Notting Hill counter where tasting notes are standard, not a flourish.

What we love

  • Single-origin beans sold under Guillam's own label, each with tasting notes printed as standard rather than on request.
  • Hand brew filter sits on the menu alongside espresso.
  • Retail beans roasted for takeaway, so the specialty focus doesn't stop at the counter.

LIFT COFFEE★★★ Purist

LIFT roasts its own beans under a numbered lot system, naming producers down to the lot rather than hiding behind a house blend. The espresso reads funky and fruity, the kind of cup you describe by what's happening in it, not by the street it's on.

Hermanos Colombian Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Hermanos roasts its own Colombian beans and pours them as filter or espresso at the same counter, single origins traced to named farms and printed on the menu. Ask what's running today; the story behind the coffee is part of the visit.

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.
