"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."
116 Upper St, London N1 1AP, UK
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.
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.
Rotating specialty retail from origins around the world, with a filter programme that follows the stock. The kind of shop where you leave with beans as often as a coffee.
