The Fleet Street Press

Fleet Street Press: London’s Iconic Specialty Coffee Hub

Stepping into Fleet Street Press, you’re immediately immersed in the unique soul of a café deeply connected to London’s storied press heritage. Housed in a former tobacconist, the space reveals hidden rooms, locked safes, and charming period features, all beneath a sweeping curved glass frontage and historic staircase. Founded in 2013, Press Coffee & Co set out to redefine the specialty café experience, focusing on ethically sourced, high-quality coffees roasted in-house. The Fleet Street Press, now a flagship location, showcases a house Press Blend—perfect for milk drinks—alongside refined single origin espressos and filter coffees that reflect the most progressive coffee origins worldwide. Notably, they are a proud member of the Specialty Coffee Association, recognised for both consistency and standout flavor.

At the bar, skilled baristas extract rich, nuanced espresso on their La Marzocco machine, with batch-brewed filters and guest roasts regularly on offer. The menu is complemented by homemade baked goods and sought-after pastries, while their hot chocolate from Kokoa Collection and premium loose leaf teas round out the experience. Sustainability runs deep, with zero-emission delivery and compostable packaging. Don’t miss the rotating gallery of London press photography, a nod to the area’s legacy, or the chance to pick up beans and brewing gear for home. Whether you’re seeking a flawless flat white, award-winning beans, or simply a cozy landmark to savor a slice of London’s coffee culture, Fleet Street Press delivers at every sip.
