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.

Origin Coffee★★★ Purist

Origin Coffee is a Cornwall roastery. At Scoresby Street, that means named single origins on the menu, a rotating filter programme, and baristas who know the sourcing story behind every cup.

Calico Coffee★★ Specialty

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

Birds Hill Coffee Southwark★★ Specialty

Birds Hill roasts on-site, sells retail bags at the counter, and the owner knows the full chain from farm to cup. For South Bank, that's not the standard.
