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 Paul Street, inside the converted warehouse block Zetland House, through an arched doorway painted turquoise. A single narrow room runs back from the street to a white-painted brick wall, with an L-shaped counter along one side.

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