Batch brew precise enough that the tasting notes are accurate, which is rarer than it sounds. The kind of Brixton local that coffee-literate regulars compare to Federation Coffee.

The tasting notes are written down and, unusually, correct.

Beans & Beats★★ Specialty

The kind of place where the barista's description of the shot is more useful than the menu.

Addis in Brixton★★ Specialty

Own-roasted Ethiopian coffee served in traditional ceremony style, with water and espresso cups, off Brixton Market. The cultural grounding here is genuine, not decorative.

Four Boroughs★★ Specialty

A Brixton courtyard spot run by a barista with JCT specialty pedigree. The filter programme is the reason to seek it out.
