"Peter opened this in 2009, when there were very few places in London taking coffee seriously. He's still there, and so is the standard."

Single originsPour-over

What we love

  • Filter programme runs alongside espresso, with Siphon and Chemex on the bar.
  • Single origins on the menu, named and sourced with specificity.
  • Built to WBC standards from the start, not benchmarked against the local neighbourhood.
  • Latte art at a level that earns specific attention.
  • Peter is still on-site.

Kiss the Hippo Coffee Soho★★★ Purist

Kiss the Hippo roasts in Richmond and runs this Soho counter on the same terms: rotating single origins, seasonal espresso blends, and a manual brew menu from V60 to Chemex. This isn't a branded spin-off; it's the roaster, in Soho.

Café Vins★★ Specialty

A Carnaby bookstore pulling shots from Open Fields Coffee. Order the flat white.

The Colombian Coffee Company★★ Specialty

This is a Colombian roastery that happens to be in Soho, not a Soho cafe that happens to sell Colombian coffee. In-house roasting, direct-trade sourcing, and a barraquito on the menu back that up.
