Yellow Ladder Coffee

This Rotherhithe coffee shop opens its doors at 5:30am, seven days a week — hours that few in London can match and a blessing for anyone with an early start. Beans are clearly a point of pride, with single origins from Colombia, Ethiopia, El Salvador and Brazil sold alongside light and dark blends and a house decaf, available to take home whole or ground for espresso and filter. Dogs are welcome, the entrance is wheelchair-accessible, and a 4.5 rating from 222 reviews speaks for itself.
