About Department of Coffee and Social Affairs

The full name for these guys is the catchy Department of Coffee and Social Affairs. The first location was on Leather Lane and they now have a small, but ever-growing network of coffee shops around London, and I would frequently visit the one in Soho as I worked a nearby. They have now grown outside of London with locations in Manchester and Bristol, and have also expanded into the US with a location in Chicago.

Department of Coffee and Social Affairs works across a range that leans toward comfort and depth — dark chocolate appears consistently, anchored by dried fruit, berry, and occasional citrus brightness. Their blends tend toward smooth, rounded profiles, while single origins bring more definition through cherry, raisin, and warm spice. It's a range that rewards those who prefer approachable complexity over sharp acidity, with enough variety to suit both espresso-focused drinkers and those exploring filter.
