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

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.

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.
