Indy Coffee Guide

Indy Coffee Guide The Insider's Guide to the best speciality coffee shops and roasters across the UK and Ireland

12/03/2026

Together with Peter from and John the we’ve created The Independent Coffee Collective and launched the Save Our Speciality Coffee campaign (SOS) to drive meaningful change across the UK.

We are encouraging independent speciality coffee shops to stand together and be heard. We’ve created a letter template which cafes owners and roastery founders can send to their local MP. This highlights the financial pressures that indie coffee businesses are facing and invites them to visit and find out more.

If you are a cafe or roastery owner, follow the link in our bio to access the letter template right now!

Speciality coffee fans can support the SOS campaign by liking, commenting and sharing. Because who wants to live in a world where the only coffee shops left are part of multinational chains?
