The final coat of paint has dried, our signature, powder blue Synesso has been rehoused (and revamped) and the bar is fully-stocked. What quickly became known to us as 'Operation Piazza Storm' is complete.

It is with great pleasure that, as of 7am this morning, we have opened the doors to our new Marylebone Coffeebar at 1 Barrett St., W1U 1AX.

Now inside the piazza of St. Christopher's Place, the same baristas and barbacks you know are continuing to serve delicious coffee alongside a focused food offering throughout the day.

There are others things our regulars will recognise, too: our espresso machine and cups have become a renewed focal point.

However, with a new space also comes a new aesthetic. The EK43 grinder and Fetco batch brewer we've come to know so well in our Holborn and Fitzrovia Coffeebars adorns a zinc-topped bar. This gives way to a clean, simple design with flashes of colour and intrigue that include -- among other things -- a wall carving that we're particularly fond of.

We look forward to welcoming returning and new customers in the coming days, weeks and months and bringing back the best coffee possible to Marylebone after a short hiatus.
