London is without a doubt home to some of the world`s best & most interesting coffeehouses. London Coffee tells their stories: of the people, the places & the history. Coffee drinkers in the 21st century have developed a taste for single origin & light roasts
- they`ve come to learn terms such as terroir, crema, microfoam
- they read tasting notes & understand what different roasting profiles actually taste like in the cup. This newfound public interest has spawned hundreds of coffee shops, speciality roasters, equipment suppliers, & dedicated festivals. However, what is oft-forgotten is that London has been home to coffeehouses since the 1650`s
- populated by intellectuals, writers, businessmen, dissidents & academics; these were hothouses of debate, community-gathering places, & the birthplace of business. Some of these historic places are still around, flush with their vintage charm & scuffed vinyl seating. In our city, they sit alongside new, crisp Scandinavian-style coffee shops, small-batch roasters who serve steaming cups right in their workshops, & Italian-style cafes passed down through generations of the same family.
