Where To Drink It: Daily Goods

Tucked away behind the doors of Kinoko Cycles, Daily Goods have been turning out great Workshop Coffee since early 2013. Sitting at the corner of Golden Square in London’s Soho, Daily Goods is a simple but brilliant little location to pick up a coffee or a bag of Workshop Coffee filter or espresso.

The bar itself is no larger than a few square metres is fitted out with a simple Linea and Anfim set up. There is no pretence or novelties, just good quality coffee served with care, attention to detail and the ever pleasant company of Daily Goods’ sole barista and owner, Carter.

Where To Drink It: Talkhouse Coffee

Talkhouse Coffee has attracted a lot of attention as the first serious venture into speciality coffee West of Fitzrovia. The buzz, however, has rightly shifted from its location on Portobello Road, to the level of attention and skill in the preparation of their espresso and filter drinks.

The minimalist design and colour choice encourages customers to engage with each other and the food on offer, rather than their surroundings. For those just coming for a quick coffee a long sleek wooden bar allows for customers to sit and enjoy watching the preparation of their chosen drink. Similarly, looking through the open window kitchen you can see chefs preparing Talkhouse’s distinct selection of brunches and sweets. Quiet and calm, Talkhouse is a respite from the frantic and often frenetic energy of Portobello.

Talkhouse regularly showcases our Cult of Done Espresso and single origin filter coffees, like the superb Kabingara. In addition there are a range of retail coffees to take home, alongside grinders and brewing equipment.

Where to Drink It: Manifest Coffee

In October, Folkestone was blessed with the addition of Manifest Coffee. This neat espresso and brew bar has seats for only 15, however, what it lacks in size it makes up for in modern design and amazing coffee. The simple clean wood bar was actually designed by Dean Edmonds, who is most famous his design work for Prufrock and Protein.

Sourcing espresso and filter coffee from Workshop Coffee Co. and a number of other top roasters, Thom - Manifest’s frontman and owner - will serve you coffee from their beautiful glass carafes and cafetieres. In recent weeks you'll have been able to sample our Hunkute, Kabingara and Yukro; and there will definitely be many more exciting coffees in try soon.

In addition to great coffee, Manifest has chosen to emphasise magazines and print media. With special coffee and magazine pairings - like Another Escape magazine with your flat white - Thom hopes to intensify the experience of both coffee and print media. An exciting new venue with a concentration on quality in everything they are doing.

General Store also tries to concentrate on smaller and local London suppliers.

If you are lucky enough to be in the Peckham Rye then pop by for an Eccles cake and Cult of Done Espresso. Retail coffee is also available and can be ground to order for those of us not lucky enough to own a Porlex Hand Grinder. Also available are a selection of brewers, kettles, grinders and other coffee equipment.
