The Story

Founded with a vision to bring globally inspired food and specialty coffee together, this cafe has become a cornerstone of the King's Cross redevelopment. Over the years, it has grown from a single site to a multi-location brand, always prioritizing sustainability and ethical sourcing. Its in-house roastery reflects a commitment to quality and innovation, supplying beans not only for their own cafes but also for a growing wholesale community. The space has hosted countless events and collaborations, cementing its reputation as a leader in London's cafe culture.

Craft & Expertise

The baristas here showcase a deep understanding of extraction and milk texture, serving consistently balanced espresso drinks and filter options. Beans are roasted on-site, ensuring freshness and a dynamic range of single origins and blends. The menu features both classic and inventive drinks, like their signature cold brew and seasonal specials. Drinks arrive in sturdy ceramic cups, and there's ample seating at the bar for those who want to watch the craft in action. The attention to detail extends from the grind to the pour, making each cup a reliable pleasure.
