Discover better coffee
A live map of London's specialty cafés, each scored out of 10. Rank the ones you've visited, follow people whose taste you trust, and buy beans from the café that brews them.
Every café worth the walk, on one map.
Each pin is a circle in its score's colour, with the figure inside. Zoom in and the café name appears. Zoom further and you see what the community says it's known for. No score yet? It says New, never zero.
- Search cafés, roasters and beans, or jump to any area of London.
- Filter by brew method, what it's good for, beans to buy, species and roast. Then Show 24 cafés.
- Open now is one tap. So is suggesting a café we've missed.
Every score out of 10. Every colour means something.
Ten bands run red to orange to green, so you can read a map at a glance before you read a number. A perfect score reads simply 10.
