Fine people of London Town, welcome to our house. Our Coffee House. Allow us to introduce ourselves - we are The Gentlemen Baristas.

Why on earth do we call ourselves that? We believe that coffee should be well-mannered as well as well-made.

So: tip-top coffee, ground to order and dashed superbly brewed, served with courtesy and a warm welcome. We like to think of ourselves and our customers as good eggs. To us, it's important to be as fastidious about splendid service as super coffee.

We may have a somewhat old-fashioned ethos but we think that's no bad thing. Not to worry though, we still have new-fangled things like wi-fi and top of the range coffee machines here.

Do join us for an early morning flat white and perhaps a spot of warming porridge or naughty pastry, or drop in for a shot of rich espresso (or tea, if you prefer) and an Earl of Sandwich later on - we're open all day. No need to RSVP.

Yours, Mr. Henry C.A.W Ayers and Mr. Edward T.G.E. Parkes Esq
