Cafe Pronto

One of the few Clerkenwell spots where you can drink your coffee and then buy the very same beans to take home, this friendly café sells its own house espresso in whole bean and ground form, alongside a Mexican decaf and a selection of teas. Early risers are well catered for, with doors opening at 7am on weekdays, and the outdoor seating happily welcomes four-legged companions. With a 4.6 rating from nearly 370 reviews, it has clearly earned its local following.
