OZON Roasters espresso in a tight Japanese-minimal room where the matcha latte gets the same care as the shot. Small, deliberate, and quietly good.

OZON espresso in a room where the matcha latte gets taken just as seriously.

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.
