The Barako heirloom espresso is the draw. A Philippine coffee varietal built into a programme that treats sourcing as a cultural position, not a marketing line.

Philippine heritage coffee taken seriously, with Barako espresso as the evidence.

Single origins

What we love

  • Barako heirloom espresso, a Coffea liberica varietal from the Philippines, rarely found on London menus
  • Single-origin espresso programme, with origins listed rather than a house blend
  • Staff who know the sourcing and can talk through it without prompting

Nostos Coffee★★★ Purist

Nostos invented the freeze-distilled flat white. Order the Diego: pistachio and cardamom, named-lot single origin, and a preparation technique that exists nowhere else in London.

District★★ Specialty

The guest roaster changes monthly in a Battersea brunch room that doesn't need to care this much about coffee. It does anyway.

Sendero Specialty Coffee★★ Specialty

Rotating pour-overs with fruity, juicy profiles in a part of Battersea that doesn't usually deal in this kind of specificity. The beans change and the tasting notes change with them.
