Five London coffee houses named after a John le Carré spy.

Abdelrahman Fathalla, who had worked at private equity advisory firm Campbell Lutyens, opened the first in March 2020, just as the pandemic began, and built a following on takeaway.

The coffee list is single origins from ten countries, including Costa Rica, Papua New Guinea, and Kenya, with single origin meaning a cooperative or small region rather than a whole country. The 2022 London Coffee Festival placed the brand third for Most Notable New Café.

At this shop

The shop sits along the colonnade of the redeveloped Whiteleys department store on Queensway, behind bronze cladding and fluted stone pilasters, with a curved microcement bar inside. Off the bar, a walnut-panelled nook holds a second curved counter and stools beneath a tapestry of birds among foliage.
