Lebanese-French owner Georges Karam is both a coffee historian and fluid dynamics obsessive. Roasts on-site every Wednesday - the imposing roaster dominates the industrial-chic space. Clever dual concept: choose 'Italian blend' (classic, full-bodied) or 'New Wave' single-origin (light, fruit-forward). Stohrer croissants in the morning, Muscovado pastries during the day. Friday and Saturday evenings transform into a wine and cheese bar until 22:00.

What to order

Ask for the New Wave single-origin as espresso. Or cold brew in summer. The Italian blend flat white is a crowd-pleaser.

Insider tip

Weekday mornings are the sweet spot - weekends it's packed. The Fri/Sat evening wine + artisanal cheese pivot is a hidden gem within a hidden gem.
