Coffee Island: The Story Behind Our Perfectly Engineered Coffee



Nestled in between Leicester Square and Covent Garden, Coffee Island is a global experience.

Each of them offers a distinctive taste, aroma and mouthfeel, making your coffee experience one of a kind.

For a more exclusive choice, Coffee Island also presents a Guest MicroFarm every three weeks. A new Specialty variety (according to the Specialty Coffee Association of America's evaluation) is selected from around the world, based not only on farms that cultivate their coffee, but the culture of coffee too. Customers can try these guest coffees with different brewing methods, producing different cup profiles. This means that successive visits to Coffee Island become a journey for the senses.

The delicious beverages served at the espresso and brew bar are the cumulative result of specialty coffee knowledge and brewing methods. A great variety of coffees are brewed with sophisticated brewing methods, such as, pour over, Chemex, AeroPress, Syphon and unique signature cold coffee drinks.

They all have one thing in common, the offer of different cup profiles that can be enjoyed in the coffee shop or taken away to warm up in these winter months.
