Redemption Roasters runs its own roastery at HMP The Mount on a Loring, and the Islington branch delivers what that implies: single origins across filter and espresso, tasting notes on the menu, retail beans on the counter. Worth knowing about.

The beans are roasted at HMP The Mount on a Loring, and that's the actual story here.

Brood Roastery by coffee & kindness★★ Specialty

The in-house roastery dictates the menu, not the other way around. Come for single-origin filter and leave with a bag of whatever they're running this week.

Chapel Market Roastery★★ Specialty

The beans in your cup were roasted metres away, on a street market in Islington. That's not a selling point, it's just what's happening here.

SELV ROASTERY★★ Specialty

A roastery cafe on Upper Street where the coffee is the whole point. Medium-roast espresso that earns the 'best on Upper St' comparison from regulars who know the difference.
