Honoured to be named one of the world’s best coffee shops — amongst a group of beautifully considered, design‑driven brands such as in Paris, in Tokyo, in Melbourne, and in Beirut.
Monocle has always seen cities, coffee and culture through a lens we respect, so this feature carries real meaning,

We loved May.
Hagen Paddington opened its doors. Jesper and his cinnamon rolls at Hagen Middenweg, Amsterdam. POMA joined us at Hagen Paddington, London — and we had a great conversation with Rasmus that we didn’t want to end.
And through all of it — great coffee, as always.
More to come in June.

As part of Hagen’s guest baker series, we welcomed from Sommer Canteen, Copenhagen to our Middenweg Espresso bar in Amsterdam.
Cinnamon buns beautifully prepared, a taste of Copenhagen on a sunny Saturday in May.
Tak Jesper, the series continues with our next baker soon.

Hagen Termini Paddington is our new concept bar — one built around the idea that even the most transient spaces deserve real design and great coffee.
The design inspiration draws from two mid-century references.
The first: Victoria Arduino’s 1922 mural machine. Mechanics hidden behind the wall, only the group heads visible, flush in marble. A machine that became architecture.
The second:Room 606. Arne Jacobsen’s frozen-in-time suite at the SAS Royal Hotel, Copenhagen, 1960 — the room that proved a travel space could be designed with total intention.
Hagen Termini Paddington lives somewhere between the two. A place that feels considered in a city that rarely stops.

Our espresso bars have been designed with different nuances of Danish culture mixed with local traditions.
We have made the centrepiece of this espresso bar - a carpeted “hygge pole” (as we like to call it).
This is the Hagen experience - welcome to our newest site in Richmond.

At Hagen, we strive to minimise our environmental impact - from responsibly sourced coffee to eco-friendly practices and projects in all of our espresso bars. One of our sustainable initiatives is using the Bellwether Roaster at our North Audley Street Espresso Bar - the world’s lowest carbon coffee roaster, that won Best New Product at World of Coffee Copenhagen 2024. The dedication to innovation and belief in a better future for the coffee industry has lead Bellwether to create a way of roasting that is sustainable for the environment, equitable for farmers and accessible to all communities. They are leading the movement to electrify and decarbonise the coffee industry. An impressive 1.78kg of carbon is saved per 1 kg of coffee roasted.

At Hagen, we bring the best elements together, drawing inspiration from past and present. The design of our bar on Jubilee Plaza in Canary Wharf was inspired by Room 606 - the only surviving interior of the SAS Royal Hotel from 1960 by Arne Jacobsen, Danish architect and furniture designer. Room 606 is his principal work and a key reference in the history of architecture and design. When visiting our espresso bar next time, take a moment to appreciate the blue velvet bar, brown marble, wooden panelling and oval lights, all paying homage to the timeless style of the 1960s and Jacobsen’s visionary design.

In true Danish exploratory tradition, we find the best single origin coffees from around the world to bring to our bars, one of our most important partners is the Himalayan Speciality Coffee Project, which imports sustainable coffee from Eastern Nepal.
Through this project, Danish charity, the Human Practise Foundation, supports a community of 1,000 coffee farmers in the Taplejung district through direct trade and uncut charity. Directly impacting the livelihoods of 3500 people. Taplejung is perfectly suited for growing specialty coffee, with its rich soil and high-altitude conditions ideal for cultivating unique flavour profiles. A first for us, it is now available to take home from our bars as instant coffee and capsules.
