This little baby has been along time coming. Since the begining of Climpsons and sons we have been roasting our coffee on a 1960s Whitmee. Here is a few pictures of our new roaster.

We know we are great but it's always nice to hear it from other people.

Read the latest review here.

Nick, a familiar face at Climpsons is hanging up his group handles at the cafe and moving to head things up in our roastery division for our sister company Burgil Coffee.

He has been a great part of the team since he started last year and will be missed by the cafe staff and customers alike.

Nick wont be going to far, our new coffee roastery is located just down the road at Broadway market mews. Follow your nose towards the aroma of coffee and drop in and see what he's up to.

It's very drizzly, cold, and grey in London - the perfect weather to enjoy quality coffee, all day. Those brave enough to face leaving the office/house for a trip down to Climpson & Sons have been rewarded with some really great treats.

Not only is the cafe warm and dry, but some new menu items have been pleasing the crowds over the last few weeks. Smoked Salmon on toast, with wasabi mayo, corriander and red peppers, as well as an Asian Tuna Salad have been very well received.

The march of the Gibraltar (5.6oz short-double latte) continues, with more and more customers trying, and loving, this New York City drink.

We're very glad to be back home at No. 67, after a month-long refit that only ran over schedule by a day or two. For those that aren't too aware of the intracies of fitting a busy cafe, into a small space; it's hard work.

We're very pleased with the results, but come on in, and judge for yourself.

We're currently quietly chuffed with "Moose Lee's" review of Climpson & Sons, on The London Review of Breakfasts. Check it out.

So we haven't updated the site in a while, and here's why. We've been rather busy turning this (see pictures below).

But, despair not... This temporary relocation to Armadillo Restaurant is simply part of the month-long renovation of our cafe. New kitchen flooring, air conditioning, some subtle reworking of service areas, and one huge sink... All leading towards even better coffee, and even greater food.

Curious about the changes? Keen to see what's being done?! We're close to completion, and all looking foward to coming home to number 67. You guys will just have to wait and see for yourselves.

The naked portafilters are here. Also known as 'cut-aways', the naked portafilters (or handles) are completely machined down, to effectively leave just the espresso basket hanging from the machine. The result of this being that the espresso being made has no contact with anything between the basket and the cup. Pure unadulterated coffee pleasure. Ask staff for a demo....

Having used them for a few days now, I'm realising that they take some getting used to, but the resulting coffee has more depth and body, with a richer, tighter crema.

Regular customers Jacob and Tim arrive at the cafe in style.

Climpson & Sons are expecting... The imminent arrival of a set of naked La Marzocco portafilters, on order from the US. What's a naked portafilter? Why is it so exciting? Come in. Ask. And find out!
