Life isn’t perfect… but your coffee can be
Our coffee
Blending is the culinary art of combining two or more bean origins to achieve a more complex flavour, length and finish. A blend is needed for true caffe espresso but can also suit other brewing methods. The skill of blending lies in recognising individual flavour characteristics of single origin coffees and then combining to achieve balanced and complete flavour in the cup. Our roasters are continually sampling single origins and considering altitude at which the crops are grown and the processing method used for each to ascertain how it fits into a blend profile.
AllPress Espresso Blend
This is our signature blend of Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala and Sumatran origins, roasted in the classic Milanese style. Rich and full-bodied with balanced, complex flavours and full sweet acidity.
Our bread
Organic is at the heart of our bread, caring for the environment and creating a sustainable existence are fundamental at Charlie’s. That’s why we work in partnership with one of London’s leading and lovingly hand-crafted bakery who share our corporate values: The Celtic Bakers in North London, situated in the old Chocolate Factory.
Applying knowledge and techniques passed down and finessed over countless generations, our breads are baked from scratch and all shaped by hand. Using natural leavens, along with flour, water and salt our breads are created with natural ingredients only with no additives or preservatives, everything is baked fresh daily.
Simple, natural and delicious, we stock a wide range of breads with a real kick to the flavour.

Every time I have gone to this place I was impressed by the coffee, they have a talented latte artist and the coffee beans they use are high quality. I love the atmosphere and I like all the staff members. … More They’re smiley, friendly, make the place comfortable. I’ve brought loads of friends here. The breakfast is nice as well I recommend. -
Lemonia K. Deco ★★★★★ 3 months ago
Cute tiny café with nice coffee/food and friendly stuff. Love the carrot & pistachio cake, the chocolate muffin and feta & olive pie!
The only thing that should be improved is the toilet, which … More seems like it doesn't belong to this place (at least it is clean). -
Lucy Daniels ★★★★★ 3 months ago
Lovely cafe with great food customer service. Friendly and helpful staff, good selection of food and drinks, not too busy and outside seating, although located on a busy road.
I ordered the vegan blueberry … More pancakes, both vegan / dairy free and gluten free. Generous portion including maple syrup and arrived really quickly, along with a really tasty and well priced smoothie.
Lots of great food and drink options, would absolutely recommend. -

Had a wonderful time at Charlie's. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and prompt.
Tables are a little on the small side if you prefer a little more space when dining, but the atmosphere … More is very relaxed and pleasant. -

Had a really lovely breakfast here yesterday… have been meaning to try it for ages as it is always busy with happy looking people outside 😋 I had the smashed avocado on sourdough with poached eggs & … More smoked salmon. It was a really generous portion & absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back as the coffee is great too! -

Such a nice little place. It’s cosy and the food is delicious. They cater to different tastes and if you are a vegetarian or vegan there are many options for you. Staff are very nice. They have nice juices … More and smoothies as well. The only downside is that their tables are a bit small.
Bathroom is tucked away in the back behind the green grassy wall. -
