Amoret Coffee

Size isn’t everything, right? Right. A case in point: Hammersmith’s Amoret, a compact shop opposite the tube station. Expansive it ain’t – perfect for commuter time grab ’n ’go, mind – but what it lacks in square footage it makes up for in coffee-making nous. Baristas are knowledgeable and keen to impart their stuff to a receptive fan base of caffeine junkies. Beans are strictly single-estate and change regularly: they’ve cupped Square Mile, Curve, Horsham, La Cabra, Rocert and Colonna in recent memory (among many others). They occasionally serve up their own house beans, too – roasted through Union Coffee’s Campus project. Who said bigger was better?
