sabretooth: coffee & chai

Bold of name and generous of spirit, this Barnsbury corner spot gives coffee and chai genuinely equal billing — a rarity in a city that usually relegates the latter to a powdered afterthought. The result is a neighbourhood fixture where a cardamom-heavy chai and a sharply pulled espresso share the same level of care, and the fiercely prehistoric branding feels less like gimmick, more like a declaration of intent.
