24 speciality cafés
Southwark has quietly assembled a serious speciality coffee scene across twenty-four dedicated cafés, where the prevailing taste runs toward the warmer, rounder end of the spectrum. Caramel and chocolate anchor most menus, softened occasionally by milk chocolate and floral notes that suggest a considered preference for approachable depth over sharp acidity.
