Est. in Southgate · London N14
Sip, relax, enjoy — no rush, no reservations.
A proper neighbourhood spot next to Southgate tube. Specialty coffee, homemade food, a warm seat, and faces you'll start to recognise.
Find UsClaud W Dennis has been a beloved fixture in Southgate since the beginning. What started as a passion for great coffee became a proper local haunt — the kind of place where regulars have their order memorised and strangers become friends.
We serve speciality coffee, freshly made food, and the occasional craft beer. We have iPads for those who need them, a no-laptop rule for those who don't, and a fireplace in winter that makes everything better.
The owner is almost always around. That's the point.
We use Monmouth Coffee beans — one of London's most respected roasters. From a classic espresso to a flat white, cortado, filter, or cold brew, every cup is made with care.
Everything on the food menu is made by hand. Sandwiches built to order, pastries baked fresh, homemade cookies, and a rotating selection of sweet treats. Come early.
When the afternoon calls for something stronger, we've got you covered. Craft beers, a curated wine list, and cocktails — come for coffee, stay for a glass.
From live music evenings to community mornings — we like a bit of life in the room. Keep an eye on our Instagram for the latest.

Community Morning
Come as you are. Grab a seat, grab a coffee. A regular morning where locals pull up a chair and put the world to rights.
Guest Roaster Features
We regularly showcase beans from roasters we respect. Limited retail bags available. Ask at the counter what's on rotation.
Deliveroo & Takeaway
Can't make it in? We're on Deliveroo. Though honestly, it's better in person.
