Build-Outs Of Coffee: Saint Nine Coffee In London, England

Some things change, in coffee and life, yet some things stay the same. One trend that’s held on as a constant favorite here at Sprudge is the multi-roaster coffee shop. Whether a cafe is cycling through featured roasters, or offering multiple brands on bar at the same time, the multi-roaster offers consumers an engaging and fun way to try different roasters, all dialed in with the expert care of a professional coffee bar team. When it’s done well, there’s really nothing quite like it.

Today on Build-Outs we’re taking a look at Saint Nine Coffee in London, a coffee bar that’s served some of England’s most interesting roasters over the last year, including Round Hill, Assembly, and North Star, to name just a few. Consider this an exciting addition to London’s incredible coffee scene, which we’ll be spotlighting on Sprudge in a guide series throughout the coming months.

The 2021 season of Build-Outs is presented by Fellow. The series is sponsored by La Marzocco, Pacific Barista Series, Marco Beverage Systems, Dona, and Sustainable Harvest.

The original from artist Gabe Sapienza was printed onto fabric and fixed into place. A pared back, minimal interior featuring curved matte black walls and countertop complement the artwork and feature lighting guides the eye through the space.
