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 roasts with a leaning toward richness and depth — dark chocolate appears consistently across their range, grounded by dried fruits, caramel, and gentle spice rather than brightness or acidity. Their blends tend toward smoothness and balance, making them approachable without being anonymous. It's a considered palette that suits those who prefer their coffee to feel settled and complete, with enough complexity to reward attention but nothing that demands it.
