Tiny hole-in-the-wall coffee bar in Bloomsbury with just a few seats, focusing purely on exceptional specialty coffee. Serious baristas pulling perfect espresso shots using beans from top UK roasters. No laptop policy ensures quick turnover and social interaction.
Ask the barista about their current guest roaster and try it as a filter pour-over to really taste the bean.
