Qima roasts its own beans from Yemeni, Ethiopian, and Colombian farms, with Yemenia-lineage single origins on the menu that don't exist anywhere else in the city. Come for the Al Haymtain Peaberry; order the Mofawar, the traditional cardamom and ginger preparation that makes most of London's coffee feel generic.

Yemenia-lineage genetics, tree-to-cup sourcing, and the Mofawar that makes you forget espresso is a default.

What we love

  • In-house roastery (Qima Coffee) with tree-to-cup sourcing across Yemeni, Ethiopian, and Colombian farms
  • Yemeni single origins include Yemenia-lineage genetics not available anywhere else in London
  • Mofawar on the menu: the traditional Yemeni cardamom and ginger preparation
  • Retail beans to take home, with tasting notes listed on the menu
  • Baristas explain brewing methods and bean provenance as a matter of course

Kiss the Hippo Coffee Fitzrovia Corner★★★ Purist

Order a V60, read the tasting note while it brews, and take a bag home. Kiss the Hippo roasts its own beans and brings the full programme to this Fitzrovia corner.

WatchHouse Fitzrovia★★★ Purist

WatchHouse runs its own Coffee Lab in South London; Fitzrovia is where you taste the results. Named single origins on the batch brew and a rotating Roaster's Spotlight give you a reason to come back.

Attendant Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Attendant roasts on-site and pours named single origins as V60, AeroPress, or espresso. One of the few addresses in central London where the Roasters in the name is actually true.
