Redemption Roasters King’s Cross: Where Specialty Coffee Meets Social Purpose
Tucked beneath a Victorian brick viaduct in Coal Drops Yard, Redemption Roasters King’s Cross is unlike any other specialty coffee destination in London. This café’s soul lies in its mission—training offenders in professional coffee skills inside UK prisons, then reintegrating them into the coffee industry upon release. The result? Exceptional coffee with restorative impact, all served in a stylish, industrial-rustic space just steps from Granary Square. With seating for 16 inside and communal tables outside, the warm atmosphere is matched by dog-friendly hospitality and a true sense of community.
Redemption Roasters is a certified B Corp boasting a high social and ethical standard, as reflected in glowing reviews and a Travelers’ Choice award for consistent excellence. Their coffee portfolio is a vibrant journey: from blends with notes of pineapple, blackcurrant, and sherbet to single origins with dark chocolate and hazelnut undertones. Espresso-based drinks and batch filter options headline the menu, complemented by artisan pastries, cakes, and sandwiches. House specialties—like the perfectly balanced flat white—are must-tries. Whether you’re a connoisseur or new to specialty coffee, Redemption’s unique story and commitment to quality make it a standout in the London coffee scene.
