Flying Horse Coffee opens in Shoreditch

The famous coffee roastery has just opened its fourth and biggest project to date in the heart of Shoreditch. 

The new Flying Horse Coffee site opens this March, just in time for spring and introduces an updated contemporary take on a coffee shop as visualised by founder, Phillip Way. 

This new venue incorporates the overground train line as part of the architecture of the site. If you like the sound of sipping your coffee in the morning sun, whilst watching skateboarders practise their moves and trains whizzing above your head, this spot is for you.

The venue has 60 seats inside and another 30 outside on the wrap-around terrace, with no bookings necessary. 

East London’s newest all day brunch and coffee venue is sure to be a destination spot in no time. The menu features a hearty Mexican Breakfast (already the best seller) and is an amalgamation of Phillips travels through Central America, consisting of scrambled eggs, refried beans, pico de gallo, in house queso fresco, guacamole and tortilla – served with a bottle of extra hot sauce.

The coffee

Flying Horse Coffee originally launched in 2018 in Mare Street Market with a Roastery and hatch window as a nod to The Flying Horse Inn, a staging post for weary travellers and their horses in the 16th century.

All of the coffee served in the new venue is roasted at the original Mare Street Market Roastery. There are four coffee blends used on site, all roasted to perfection and the team has spent 6 years blending their signature Espresso Blend, currently from Brazil, Peru & Guatemala. It is chocolate bodied with flavours of apples and berries.

Founder, Phillip Way says: "I’m really excited to be landing slap bang in the middle of Shoreditch where my east London life began in 2000. Older and wiser, I’m bringing brunch and coffee to the Shoreditch masses that used to rave in the warehouses that made way for the Shoreditch overground line. It’s less late nights and more morning buzz that gets me going these days! I’m very proud of what the team has achieved so far and can’t wait to share this incredible location with all of our customers, new and old."
