We’re introducing a reserved espresso across our shops ☕️
Reserve espresso is a special espresso option made with carefully selected, limited beans.
Unlike our house espresso, it offers a more distinctive flavour profile and a more focused coffee experience.
You can choose Reserve Espresso for your usual coffee, whether that’s an espresso, flat white, latte, cappuccino, cortado, or any other espresso-based drink for an additional £2.
A small way to discover a different expression of coffee.

Kenya AA Kiawanduma. Selected by the Fuglen Tokyo roasting team, this coffee reflects their roasting approach, offering a clear, fruit driven sweetness and acidity, with a juicy and expressive cup profile.
The drip bags have been improved with their latest technology, staying fresh for up to 6 months from production. Perfect if you’re planning to stock up during LCF week.

| In conversation with Obadiah |
A closer look at the thinking behind our latest collaboration with .
During our visit, we spent time with Sam, founder of Obadiah, to hear how they approach coffee.
“We like to highlight and reveal the innate qualities of each coffee. A light touch, so it can shine in the most true and authentic way.”
A quiet, considered way of working - close to how we think about Nagare, and the reason this collaboration felt right from the start.
Muthuaini, Kenya, exclusively roasted by Obadiah, is now available across all three locations. Limited availability.
24/04/2026
Since the beginning of this year, we have been working on something truly special, a project that reflects our identity and pays tribute to the roasters we deeply respect.
We made a visit to Edinburgh - to taste the coffee, discuss the packaging designs, and spend some great time together; and we are now excited to share our latest collaboration with , a highly regarded roaster based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
This project brings together our coffee selection with Obadiah, alongside their iconic box design aesthetic. The custom lettering was created by our co-founder, Dora . The minimal and elegant strokes reflect a shared aesthetic that represents both our visions.
Every detail was developed side by side. A truly collaborative project in every sense.

Every few months, we rotate our house espresso, something we work on closely with Curve Coffee Roasters .
This time, we’re brewing Huabal from Cajamarca, Peru.
It’s a washed coffee with a creamy body, brown sugar sweetness, and a bit of red grape.
You’ll be tasting this in every espresso-based drink for now.
We’ll keep adjusting and refining it as we go, so it stays consistent in the cup.

A shared bench, a few conversations, familiar faces passing through. The kind of afternoon where no one is in a hurry and the coffee lasts just a little longer.
