What to expect

Algerian Coffee Stores is one of Soho's oldest shops, trading on Old Compton Street since 1887. Behind its vintage shopfront it sells a huge range of coffee beans and loose teas by weight, along with pots, grinders and brewing kit. It's also long been a local secret for one of the best-value coffees in central London. You can get a takeaway espresso or cappuccino from the counter for a fraction of café prices, enjoyed standing on the street outside. A must for coffee lovers exploring Soho.
