Algerian Coffee Stores - Review - Soho - London - The Infatuation
"The red and white striped awning and curling gold script signage make Algerian Coffee Stores look like an olde sweet shop—and it is, if you replace children with adults and gobstoppers with Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans. The floor-to-ceiling shelves at this Soho spot are packed with jars of all sizes containing speciality beans from all over the world, things like Indian Cherry AA and unprocessed Kopi Luwak, as well as exclusive house blends. Tell the staff what flavours you like, your preferred brew method, and they’ll pluck something from the shelves like a sommelier pairing wine. Or just get one of their excellent—£1.50—hot brews to go. Just know that the shop is endearingly chaotic—there’s no seating and most of the space is given up to coffee beans. Expect queues and make sure to look at the wooden board before you reach the front so you don’t waste time when ordering. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute" - Sinéad Cranna
