"A one-man operation in Angel where the barista chose the beans, knows the regulars, and pulls every order himself. Better than the neighbourhood expects."

What we love

  • Beans chosen deliberately; visitors contrast the quality against the chains on the same street
  • Cold foam on iced drinks holds, a preparation detail most nearby spots miss
  • Handles non-standard orders without hesitation: decaf, alt milks, complex builds

Brood Roastery by coffee & kindness★★ Specialty

The in-house roastery dictates the menu, not the other way around. Come for single-origin filter and leave with a bag of whatever they're running this week.

Chapel Market Roastery★★ Specialty

The beans in your cup were roasted metres away, on a street market in Islington. That's not a selling point, it's just what's happening here.

SELV ROASTERY★★ Specialty

A roastery cafe on Upper Street where the coffee is the whole point. Medium-roast espresso that earns the 'best on Upper St' comparison from regulars who know the difference.
