"Pak roasts his own beans in Peckham and brews them at the bar, which makes this a roastery visit, not just a coffee stop. Order the pour-over on whatever single origin is current."
Unit 30, Rye Lane Market, 48 Rye Ln, London SE15 5BY, UK
One of very few London roasters working with laurina and aramosa, two low-caffeine cultivars sourced by named origin from Colombia and Brazil. The bags are the point.
Old Spike is a roastery that runs a cafe, not the other way around. The Brazilian house blend is the espresso to order, and the baristas here trained on it as part of a social enterprise mission that puts craft at the centre.
The Peckham outpost of Elsewhere Coffee, one of London's sharper specialty roasters. Filter is the focus, and it's landing.
