Great service, pastries and coffee.
Every pastry on offer looked amazing and we tried an almond croissant and a cinnamon scroll. Both were delicious and went well with the coffee.
We ordered a flat white, oat milk flat white and a latte.
If you enjoy a milk coffee then this should hit the spot.
Really enjoyed my experience at Redemption Roasters. Really fast service and the food was excellent.
I especially want to note the impact of addressing recidivism rates through meaningful employment. I found the way Redemption Roasters goes about incorporating its mission and educating consumers truly impressive. The artwork (done by incarcerated individuals), the roasting of the beans, barista work, and even the names of the coffee (the block, the yard, the wing) all support a very exciting vision.
This is a spacious coffee place in the heart of the city. A rare gem! Ample of space to work. I sat downstairs and it was quiet and empty.
I had the oat flat white and Kim cheese sandwich. The flat white was good. The Khimchee Cheese sandwich could have been better if it was toasted for a while. The cheese didn’t melt and rather felt dry. But still a good sandwich.
Overall good experience. You can even grab lunch and go to the nearby Lincoln Inn Park for a picnic.
I ordered an Iced Oat Latte here, without knowing the backstory of this place. The effort and the cause to reintegrate people back into society is wildly admirable and valiant. The service was great. I also had a lemongrass tea, which was good. Just wish you got a bit more water. I sat here for a good three hours or so writing, and it had such a nice atmosphere. Definitely coming back here and trying the food next time.
TLDR: best coffee in London, best mission in cafes.
I’ve been excited to come here for a while, but honestly, forgot about them when I came to London. My group happened to choose here to stop for breakfast and as I talked with the guy at the til he told the story of Redemption Roasters and i immediately remembered! And I was not disappointed in their mission or their coffee. Read their website for more info on how they help lower recidivism rates in the UK.
Best coffee I’ve had in London.
Flat white was phenomenal. The muffins were delightful. The chai latte was not to the liking of my travel companions, as it had a stronger spice flavor that most in the US do. The eggs royale was good. Not a soft poached egg, and the hollandaise sauce was just ok. But the drinks were spot on.
The employee, had been through the inmates program told us all about the mission and the program. He was the friendliest service worker I’ve encountered in all of England.
Hats off to Redemption Roasters.
I go here quite often to study and grab some food. It's usually not too busy and there's additional seating downstairs too. I personally love the kimcheese toastie! The interior is also nicely decorated with plants. Their social impact/mission is great too.
A good concept for coffee shop, Redemption. Nice atmosphere, coffee here is good up to standard, but still have room to improve. Keep it up! 👍
Very nice cafe with nice vibes. A good place for a cup of specialty coffee and a small bite or a sandwich.

Really nice independent coffee shop. Talented batista will make sure that you have your dose of caffeine for the day. A good selection of sandwiches and pastries.
Coffee is smooth and pretty mellow(definitely Sunday coffee for me rather than a work time roast) , staff are lovely and polite and the cafe is bright, airy and comfortable. The food is a standard cafe price but good food variation with original flavours. Biodegradable cups and an ethical business - highly recommend!
