If you like your coffee Italian, Cafe Brera is the place for you. This cafe, bar and restaurant in the heart of Canary Wharf is inspired by Milanese style and the ambience of European cafes, so you can feel like you’re in the Mediterranean even if you’re really in cloudy London. They have a mouthwatering breakfast menu, and the coffee is divine and elegant. Nothing beats a short, strong Italian coffee, except maybe Brera’s Signature Hot Chocolate – melted chocolate served with seasonal fruit.

What sets a great coffee shop apart from all the good ones is passion and knowledge. Mouse Tail certainly have both! Their name is derived from barista lingo: ‘mouse tail’ is the name given to the long, smooth, steady stream of espresso.
They roast their own coffee with single origins from all around the globe, and they also have their own house blend which changes seasonally. Their house chef makes delicious lunches and pastries, and the menu changes daily so she is always excited to cook! Not to mention they have a bunch of great veggie and vegan options too.

London-born Black Sheep Coffee has branches all over the city, including Canary Wharf. The co-founders met at university and still run the company, travelling to coffee plantations throughout the year to monitor the growing, drying and picking process of their coffee, and to ensure that the farmers share the benefits of their trade. They hire the best baristas, source the best coffee beans, and have sustainable practices. Leave The Herd Behind.
