Redemption Roasters in Camden

£4.10 for a one shot decaffeinated black coffee !!! That’s an outrageous price for a no milk coffee. Highest price ever charged so far.

Nice coffee and a good concept! Great as somewhere to drop by. Didnt try the food so cannot comment. Very busy when we were in!

Stopped here one morning before going to an appointment in the area. The service was excellent and the staff were both professional and courteous. Actually, it was a great experience, spoiled only by a few ill-mannered (locals?) people who behaved in a rude and entitled manner. The coffee was so nice that l stopped in again for a takeaway coffee on my return journey.

Lovely place to sit and work, I go here a lot with my laptop and it has a nice atmosphere. I will say though that paying £3.80 for a very small coffee in a paper cup is a bit of a liberty. I got given a paper takeaway cup the first time and thought it was odd so this time I even asked if I could have it in a mug as I was sitting in and the man behind the till told me they are only doing takeaway cups at the moment, even though I could see mugs on the side and there were other people around me with mugs lol. Might sound petty but I just feel like having your coffee in a mug is a basic requirement in a cafe. It also feels like needless waste. If I wanted a paper cup I would go to Costa. It’s a shame because as I said, lovely place

It took me a long time to find this place. It is not properly sign posted and the building is way out in the complex. The shop / café is in the lower level. I went to buy pure Colombian coffee beans. The place has about six different fancy named brands but what I found surprising, and annoying, was that the coffee was multi labelled; eg “The Yard is Colombian, Guatemala and Rwanda” – how can true Colombian be from three countries ? Anyway, I bought three different types of mixed blends and hope for the best. I got a cup of their coffee Americano with a dash of milk, and it was served tepid. The baristas basically just serve up and when I said the coffee was lukewarm, he offered a fresh cup, but it was too late. He did not really want to give anyway, and I could see his attitude. I would never go again.

A rather confined space this with very limited seating in the body of the cafe and on high stools around the edge. A mocha served with a flowery pattern in the froth was worth the wait, although I had nearly finished a small raspberry doughnut before it had been made. Finding a seat was far from straightforward with seats reserved for spouses returning from nearby toilets or occupied by bags and coats.

Tasty coffee, great location, nice philosophy. Tasty coffee, great location, nice philosophy. Tasty coffee, great location, nice philosophy.

Tiny place, not a lot of seating, but very good coffee - although expensive! £4.60 for a decaf oat milk flat white (!!). Almost £5 for coffee is wild. but it was delicious and the staff friendly.

No good if you're looking to do some work. Very loud music - can be clearly heard even when wearing noise-cancelling headphones - and the room temperature downstairs is a few degrees below friendly!

Very rude barrister at Farringdon branch. No sugar or sweetness on site but didn’t tell me before I ordered. Wont be coming back!

Really tasty coffee, I love this place! It's located quite close to where I live and I like treating myself to their coffee.

Good iced americano but pricey. However it was good and refreshing in the heat. Service was pleasant but could be friendlier and faster. Painfully slow despite three or four staff available. Limited seating inside and outside. Inside was baking they need air conditioning in the summer. Small space. Nice small selection of cakes, cookies, savoury bites and more. I just had the iced americano. Clean. Wifi was average.

We visited Redemption Roasters for morning coffee on the basis of a TV article (some time ago) about the story behind “The world’s first behind the bars coffee roastery” and the coffee shop opening in Coal Drops Yard. We visited on a sunny winter morning and the area was busy. There was almost no queue at the ordering point so we were able to quickly order our refreshments. What I did not realise was the queue waiting to collect snaked around the small shop and then continued outside. I would like to say that the long wait was worth it, but instead all I can say was that the coffee and cakes were good, but not exceptional. The shop has some inside seating, but we ended up sharing a table with strangers outside. Redemption Roasters is much better than any of the chain coffee shops, and you know that your purchase is supporting a good cause.

We visited the new Redemption Roasters in Lincoln Fields twice as it was so good the first time we went there. Great staff and food. I wanted some of their coffee beans as a gift and their recommendation was very well received!

Friendly thoughtful staff who served the coffee just as we wanted it. Great music including 'footloose'; made my day.

Expensive dry Cronut . Really dry and not one bit tasty . Was embarrassed to return the hood as a friend bought them . Not good at all

I was visiting Coal Drops Yard for the London Design Festival. The generous amount of outdoor seating across the complex was very welcome in the current health situation. I just wanted a coffee and cake for some refreshment as a 'pick me up'. This was...

Slow service, no place to sit and told there was no lid for my take away cup when there were strong winds outside. I also wasn’t told in advance nor was there an apology! Should have asked for my money back and gone somewhere else....

What an awful experience! Coffee was great but waiting for 50 minutes to still not be served our food was ridiculous. To not even get a proper apology as we got our refund unacceptable. If you want a watch business struggling to get the basics...

We came in for cakes and a quick drink. Between us we had a sticky bun and chocolate brownie - both were great. The staff were really friendly too - I recommend!

Lovely little coffee shop popular with the laptop crowd. Deliciously smooth filter coffee (tried Brazil), mouth-watering selection of vegan pastries (brownie mmmm), fine teas. 20Mbit WiFi, plenty seats, heart-warming attitude.

Terrible service. 15 minute wait for two lattes. Undrinkable hot chocolate for kids. Took hot chocolate only to be told nothing wrong with it and was type of cocoa used. Terrible customer service and would not return.

if you love your coffee and you are visiting coal drops yard then a stop off at Redemption Roasters should be top of your list of things to do. great staff, tasty cakes and snacks and some of the best coffee in London.

We enjoyed the relaxed ambiance of this cosy cafe. Service was friendly and nice selection of cakes. The hot chocolate was neither hot nor very chocolatey. No decaf tea either. Deserves 3.5.

Went for a walk around Coal Drops Yard which is a brilliant regenerated area behind Kings Cross Station. The coffee shop is the first behind bars roastery based inside Aylesbury Prison reducing re-offending through coffee. All the staff were very pleasant and efficient, coffee very...

I’ve been hoping to try out one of the Redemption coffee shops in London ever since we found that a local favourite place in Cheltenham use their coffee beans. The opportunity finally presented itself when I got to meet up with one of our sons...

Arrived just as they were closing at 5:30 but still served cheerfully an excellent cup of unadulterated (well except for water:) coffee. Very good, fresh taste, lovely aroma and, if you can believe it, berry notes on the palate and perhaps some dark chocolate. I...

Excellent coffee in Coal Drops Yard. Very nice seating area and coffee roasted with a great cause. Highly recommended.

This is a great cafe to support. The food is high quality. The coffee is freshly roasted. The service is good and there is outside and inside seating available.

Well worth a visit excellent coffee, toasted sandwiches and cakes ... very good polite service ... enjoy

This establishment does not accept cash transactions. Only informed after I had placed an order. The server told me due to 'hygiene reasons' only credit cards and digital payments accepted. I walked out never to return. This insiduous move to a cashless society worries me...

This is a lovely little independent coffee shop in the very on-trend Coal Drops Yard. The name comes from the fact that the roasters are inmates at Aylesbury Prison. Srvice was a little slow, but the coffee is worth it.
