watchhouse coffee

modern coffee in historic spaces

The history of WatchHouse Coffee is in its name. It began as a modern coffee vision in a 19th century watch house on Bermondsey Street. Though it now has several locations around London, one in Bath, and a couple in New York, WatchHouse retains a sense of conscientious narrative. Each cafe simultaneously carries the artfully crafted contemporary coffee culture of the brand while preserving the character of the space it occupies. The thoughtful design of each space set the tone, a beautiful marriage of old world charm and contemporary coffee rituals. Sleek modernist furnishings combining warm woods, cool terrazzo and original architectural details to make for a timeless atmosphere.

While coffee is certainly the star of the show, most locations also serve breakfast and brunch. It functions as a coffee bar and an all day cafe, easy for a quick pick me up and pastry pairing, and a reliable choice for a sit down breakfast or casual brunch. WatchHouse elevates the everyday routines to something worth slowing down for.
