Plot Roasting anchors the espresso, with a guest roaster slot running alongside it so the cup changes. A considered stop on Hackney Road.

Plot Roasting as the house pour, with a guest rotation that earns a second visit.

Dark Arts Coffee Shoreditch★★★ Purist

The room looks borrowed from a Shoreditch tattoo parlour. The espresso is as committed as the aesthetic, which is saying something.

Kiss the Hippo Coffee Shoreditch★★★ Purist

Kiss the Hippo runs its own roastery and this Shoreditch branch is where you taste the full picture. Rotating single-origin lots on both espresso and filter, baristas who know what's in the hopper and why.

Flying Horse Coffee★★★ Purist

Flying Horse roasts their own beans in Hackney and pours them in Shoreditch, which is as close to the source as you'll get in this corner of the city. Come for the single origins.
