Coffee school offering latte art, barista, and sensory masterclasses
"This isn’t just a coffee shop, but a coffee school too—so the brews are good. Artisan Coffee School is a big, open-plan cafe in Ealing, a short walk from the station. There are lots of tables for two and a big communal table for group working. Add to that the generous amount of plug sockets and 7:30am opening time on weekdays. The food is pretty average, so head to nearby Park’s Kitchen for bibimbap instead. " - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"Like an overly caffeinated Goldilocks, we’ve sat in a lot of average coffee shops searching for the best ones—and we can confirm that Artisan Coffee School is just right. The Ealing spot is full of people who are serious about their coffee, but don’t consider it to be a personality. It’s spacious, and wooden floors and hessian sack curtains give it a cosy feel. For days when you don’t have the energy to do battle with the Aeropress at home, the generous spread of plug sockets and ample seating makes it an ideal spot to work from. As you’d hope from somewhere that calls themselves a school, the coffee is great and they do courses on latte art, setting up a coffee business, and how to work a coffee machine. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Sinéad Cranna
"On a high-street-saturated stretch of Uxbridge Road in Ealing, this independent stands out. Offering adventurous filter coffee and steady espresso from its own roastery, Curious Roo, the interior is distressed, welcoming, and crucially large. Whether at a substantial communal table or a row of smaller spots, it’s ideal for a whole day’s work. Branches in Stamford Brook, Putney and East Sheen offer further reliability for those working out west, and each branch has a decent clutch of outdoor seating." - James Hansen
