// LONDON // SHOREDITCH, SOUTHWARK, KINGS CROSS //
a reliable stop for really good coffee
The coffee scene in London is abundant to say the least. Among the crowded ecosystem in east London, Origin Coffee doesn’t do much that stands out. Originally hailing from Cornwall, the roaster stays true to a simple mission: to create a high-fidelity coffee experience, brewing sustainable beans with contemporary clarity that speaks to the universal language of the third-wave coffee obsessive. Visually, it’s clean, intentional, an uncomplicated aesthetic that lets the technical precision of its output do the talking.
The spaces are designed around the interaction of the pour. Each location is anchored by the coffee bar with an approachability that invites you to explore the monthly features and signature blends. Whether in the illustrated contemporary retail space in Shoreditch, the lofty industrial space under the railway arch, or the compact shop at the British Library, Origin is a tried and true sanctuary for an excellent cup of coffee.
