The London branch of Colonna Coffee, where Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood's three UK Barista Championships translate into three rotating single-origin filters and a separate espresso track. The barista will help you choose; order the Pulsar-brewed filter.

Ray hand-brews Yunnan single-origins and has run cupping sessions for customers who want to know what they're drinking. Not a walk-in; a destination on Leather Lane.
