Alchemy Café - Old Street

Part of the Alchemy Coffee family — the London roastery also behind cafés in Ludgate, Shoreditch and Spitalfields — this Old Street spot pours the company's own roasted beans in the heart of the City. It's a welcoming, dog-friendly setup with outdoor seating and step-free access, though it keeps proper weekday rhythm: Monday to Friday only, wrapping up by mid-afternoon.
