"Algerian Coffee Stores is an old-school brew haven that runs on £1.50 coffee, Jamaican Blue Mountain beans, and endearing chaos. Instead of dedicating any space to something as benign as seating, they’ve made the bold, brilliant choice to fill any nook and cranny with coffee beans instead. The look is Victorian sweet shop and it has the kind of prices that are rarely seen this side of the millennium, plus the staff will happily play brew matchmaker for you. Blank Street could never." - heidi lauth beasley
