The local tip: Tiny room, serious roasting — buy a bag of whatever single-origin has just come off the roaster and thank yourself later.
Amoret roasts all its beans on-site using classical equipment and modern profiling software. Every single-origin scores 83+ on SCA protocols, fully traceable, ethically sourced -- they pay farmers above Fairtrade rates. The green-fronted shop on Pembridge Road is small and cosy, a short walk from Portobello Market. If you care about provenance and roast quality above all else, this is the best in the neighbourhood.
The local tip: Ask which farm the espresso came from — they buy direct from Colombian growers and actually know the answer.
100% Colombian, direct-trade, single-origin specialty coffee freshly roasted in London. The flagship Portobello Road store was recently refurbished with new seating and a retail display reflecting the warmth of Colombian culture. Beans sourced directly from Colombian farms, cutting out middlemen. The room carries a real connection to origin.
The local tip: Open later than most specialty spots, with actual space and power sockets — the rare coffee shop you can settle into come evening.
Spacious corner spot with a retro feel, large windows, and leafy views. They call themselves a "neighbourhood living room" and it fits. Ethically sourced beans from around the world, polished but not pretentious. Good for working with plenty of space and power, good for lingering. Later closing times than most specialty spots make it a solid evening option too.
The local tip: A different guest roaster every week means last visit's favourite is probably gone — ask what's on and let the baristas nerd out.
Industrial-minimalist space spread across three levels where the focus is entirely on the coffee. They rotate a different independent roaster every week, meaning you never get bored and always discover something new. The baristas genuinely nerd out here. Clean Bauhaus-inspired design with merchandise and beans for sale. One of the best pure specialty coffee spots in West London.
What makes a great coffee shop for working from in Notting Hill?
