We pay homage to London and the London Coffee scene. What better way to do that than such a prominent space in the heart of the West End. It opens a whole new set of communities to us. We’re not arrogant enough to say we’re a British institution but we want the brand to exist in 100 years, it’s where we want to be.

Co-founder, The Gentlemen Baristas
The Gentlemen Baristas, which has expanded by eight new sites in the last two years, has just opened its new flagship store in Piccadilly. Located close to the Ritz Hotel, the coffee house spans 1800 sq ft, with 56 seat covers, and features the Gentlemen Baristas first ever Brew Bar – a private space to host speciality tastings and informal classes.
Following close after the opening in July of our new Mayfair venue, on Bruton Place, the new flagship store was launched with much fanfare and is already a smash hit with locals and tourists alike.
