KURO COFFEENotting Hill, London

"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."

What we love

  • OZON Coffee Roasters on espresso
  • Matcha latte made to the same standard as the coffee, not an afterthought
  • Flat white milk ratio taken seriously; ask and they'll deliver
  • Japanese-minimal room on Hillgate Street; small, considered, nowhere to hide

LIFT COFFEE★★★ Purist

LIFT roasts under a numbered lot system, sources direct from named producers, and sells retail from the counter. The espresso is funky and fruity; the kind you describe by what's in the cup, not the postcode.

Hermanos Colombian Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Hermanos roast their own Colombian beans, traceable to named farms, and serve filter alongside espresso at the bar. Ask the barista what's on today: they know the origin story and will tell it.

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.
