For four days only the True Artisan Café will bring together baristas from some of the UK’s most inspired independent coffee shops and roasters to serve visitors coffee creations.
Returning favourites include East London coffee-shop-come-cocktail-bar Shoreditch Grind, legendary Caravan (who have just opened their second café-roaster concept in Kings Cross) and antipodean coffee specialists Allpress Espresso.
New additions to the line-up are Square Mile, co-founded by former World Barista Champion James Hoffman; West Midlands roaster Has Bean Coffee and coffee-cycling enthusiasts Rapha Cycle Club.
Visitors will be invited to meet London’s best baristas, sample bespoke coffees and cocktails, listen to live DJs and learn how to make professional coffee.
The True Artisan Café will be raising money for Project Waterfall, the clean water initiative delivering clean water projects in African coffee-producing countries, by asking all visitors to make a donation to the charity rather than buying their drink.
