This is the first of an ongoing series highlighting interesting, awesome cafes in London serving great coffee.
We won’t post too much about them – we want people to visit, explore and find a place that really suits them.
In the immediate future most of the cafes we highlight will be serving our coffee, though we hope to cover others in the future. Hopefully those searching for the best coffee in London, great London cafes and the like will find this series useful. The London and UK Coffee Map is also worth checking out.

Superb maps, James. Of course now everyone is going to mail you and ask why café x, y and z weren’t included! But maybe that’s half the fun.

This is my closest local coffee shop – not only do they serve great coffee – they also do the best sandwiches and pastries in Bethnal Green!!!!
You gotta try the peanut butter and chocolate squares – a sublime combo of sweetness, bitterness, and saltiness. I think the Japanese call it umami !

Thank you so much for doing this, providing a good coffee guide! It’s quite bewildering/frustrating/mindnumbing to be a foreigner and newcomer in London and not knowing where to go for proper coffee. Especially being Norwegian.
Good coffee. It’s pretty damn importantThanks again!

Yay a map! I will make another attempt to visit this wonderful place this Sunday (if only I had a sense of direction…)
