TypeRoaster · Small Chain

London roastery with an 85-year-old roaster, Glastonbury every year since 2005.

Anne and Joe O'Hara left corporate careers after a 2000 backpacking trip through Central America. They started at Henley Regatta, went on to more than 4,000 events, and began roasting their own coffee in Wimbledon in 2008.

About 70% of it is Direct Trade, including the Opus espresso from Brazilian producer Homero Paiva. Three cafes now run across the City, Shoreditch, and Spitalfields.

At this shop

The shop sits on Ludgate Broadway, a pedestrianised lane at the corner with Carter Lane, with a timber bench and stools set into planters on the pavement outside the door. Inside, a triangle-patterned wood counter runs along the back wall, and a row of stools faces the street through tall windows.

Beans

Alchemy roasts its own beans. These are from its wider range, so not all may be served at this shop.
