Old Spike PeckhamPeckham, London

"Old Spike is a roastery that runs a cafe, not the other way around. The Brazilian house blend is the espresso to order, and the baristas here trained on it as part of a social enterprise mission that puts craft at the centre."

What we love

  • •Own roastery on site; beans sourced and roasted in-house under the Old Spike Roastery name
  • •House Brazilian blend: a named single-origin espresso, not a generic house shot
  • •Social enterprise model, training people rebuilding their lives as baristas
  • •Barista-dependent quality ceiling; the best shots here rank with South London's strongest

Ukkei★★★ Purist

Pak roasts his own beans in Peckham and brews them at the bar, which makes this a roastery visit, not just a coffee stop. Order the pour-over on whatever single origin is current.

Calm Coffee Roastery★★ Specialty

One of very few London roasters working with laurina and aramosa, two low-caffeine cultivars sourced by named origin from Colombia and Brazil. The bags are the point.

Daydreamer★★ Specialty

The Peckham outpost of Elsewhere Coffee, one of London's sharper specialty roasters. Filter is the focus, and it's landing.
