An owner-roaster on Lower Marsh, running Colombian single-origin through an espresso machine with a cat for company. The bar programme runs alongside without apology.

Origin Coffee★★★ Purist

A South Bank counter for the Cornish roaster Origin, pouring its own single origins as batch brew or pour-over rather than just retail bags to take home.

The Colombian Coffee Company★★ Specialty

The arch under Flat Iron Square is a working roastery, and the coffee tastes like it. House-roasted Colombian single origins, with staff who treat the bean selection as part of the service.

Calico Coffee★★ Specialty

Several pour-overs, staff who understand the bean differences, and a room designed around nothing but the coffee.
