Why you need the Indy Coffee Guide London app
With the app in your pocket, you’ll never have a bad coffee again.
The capital is overflowing with cafes, but you want to spend your precious time, money and daily caffeine quota at worthy destinations, right? The new Indy Coffee Guide London app has you covered
The first ever Indy Coffee Guide London app reveals 163 of the best speciality coffee shops, cafes and roasteries in the city. With the app in your pocket, you’ll never have a bad coffee again.
Each cafe included in the app has been carefully chosen by the industry experts behind the award-winning Indy Coffee Guide books.
No more coffee clairvoyance
Even when cafes look the part (rough-hewn chipboard counter or a tonne of terrazzo), they can still disappoint with a thin flat white made with cheap commodity-grade coffee that leaves a bitter taste in every sense. That’s why you need the app.
We’ve all done that awkward half-step into a cafe – pretending to read the menu while attempting to clock the coffee bags behind the brew bar to see if it’s likely to serve a decent brew. Unfortunately, few places hang a ‘We serve top-notch speciality-grade coffee’ sign on the door.
The app means no more playing barista bingo. It’s like having a trusted coffee expert in your pocket.
Your map to great brews, wherever you are
The best bit is the app’s interactive map. Open it to find carefully chosen speciality spots near you – whether you’re killing time between meetings in Shoreditch, mooching around Marylebone or dodging tourists in Covent Garden.
If you’re more of a planner, scroll the list to find places worth going out of your way for. Each cafe entry includes a photo, details on the coffee served, what the experience is like, opening hours and more.
Expertly chosen
The coffee shops included are chosen by the Indy Coffee Guide‘s committee of industry experts. Inclusion in the guide is based on three things: the quality of the beans used (speciality only), being independently run (no big chains here, thank you) and providing a superlative coffee experience for customers.
Find London’s best roasteries
The app goes beyond cafes as it also reveals many of London’s best speciality coffee roasteries. Get the details on where to source beans for your home hopper.
