Second Shot Coffee is located near Bethnal Green Station. I found out about this store in an article about giving back. You can help combat homeless by paying it forward. You can choose to add the cost of a coffee or cake/sandwich to your bill and someone who needs it can come in and claim one of these. I chose to add cake/sandwich to my bill. You’re given a marker to draw it on the whiteboard which I think is cool.
Service is really friendly and chose to have a dine in coffee. I decided to have a Cappuccino and it was a lovely blend. Nice coffee art on it too.
Excellent coffee and beans/ground coffee plus cakes and bagels. Potenta muffin is gluten-free but unusually not pleasure-free: it’s super delicious. If Sam is working check out her barista mastery of coffee art and bean knowledge.
All this and a worthy cause and discounts for key workers.
Five stars. It was one-hour walking to reach this place, but flat white, cappuccino and filter are worth every single step. Highly recommend.
Bonus. Vibrant area around Bethnal Green
Small space but conducive for a relaxing coffee or even to get some work done. I liked that it’s a social enterprise, and tbh the coffee was also very good! Staff were friendly and kind as well.
Wow what a surprise, didn’t know much about this place but had a knock-my-socks off flat white two days in a row. Great flavor in the espresso, well made. Nice vibe, friendly staff too. Bit cramped inside but worth it.
A great little find, quick knowledgeable friendly service. They cake card payment only, so no cash. Free WiFi available too.
Really friendly staff and great coffee too. I go back because of the pay it forward scheme where you can buy a homeless person either a drink or a meal. You can also donate your loyalty card (a full loyalty card is 1 meal, half a loyalty card is a hot drink). Staff are good at holding the line when people try and act up. I go there regularly for coffee
A really nice coffee shop with a great social cause. When you buy a coffee they make it super easy to buy an extra cup or snack to pay it forward and give to someone who really needs it.
