Old Spike Cabot Square

You'll find Old Spike tucked into Cabot Square, where the glass towers of Canary Wharf tower overhead—it's refreshingly unfussy for the neighbourhood. They roast their own coffee on-site, which means you're getting the kind of freshness that most chains around here wouldn't dream of. The space has that stripped-back café vibe: order at the counter, find a spot, and watch them work. Whether you're after a proper flat white before heading to the office or a pour-over that actually tastes like something, they take it seriously without the pretension.
