The Coffee Tree

Blending classic Italian coffee tradition with a distinctly Australian specialty influence, this Clerkenwell/Finsbury cafe pours fair trade espresso, flat whites and cortados alongside freshly made sandwiches, salads and pastries. Exposed brick and graffiti-covered walls lend the space a rustic character, while outdoor seating and a wheelchair-accessible entrance make it an easy place to settle in. A decade in business and a 4.5-star rating from 182 reviews suggest they're doing plenty right.
