Rosslyn Coffee Queen Victoria Street

"Rosslyn Coffee on the corner of Queen Victoria Street in the City isn’t somewhere you’re going to want to linger for long. It’s the kind of place you’re going to stand and drink while reading the financial pages that they pin to the walls every day. Yes, it might be cramped. And yes, they might play fairly awful four-on-the-floor music some of the time. But they also serve the best coffee in the City." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"With firm roots in both Melbourne and London’s specialty coffee cultures — the former established, the latter still evolving — Rosslyn is an illustration of how far London has come, and where it might go. Many of the shops on this list will unofficially recommend a lighter, fruitier espresso straight; and a richer, more chocolatey espresso in milk. Rosslyn goes a step further by selecting two different coffees from Origin to make the deal official. Paired with its menu of truly rare and special coffees brewed by the cup from frozen to keep them fresh, it’s one of the most considered offerings in the city, now across three cafés." - James Hansen
