The association between coffee and cycling is a long and honourable one. V69 is one such example, we opened in 2016, part of the growing speciality coffee scene in the City of London. It occupies a large counter with options of seating just inside the door of the Bespoke Cycling shop on Gresham Street, between St Mary-le-Bow church and the Guildhall. If you don’t want to go inside, there’s also a takeaway window that opens directly onto the street.

The coffee is roasted by Curve Coffee Roasters plus occasional guests, with a range of single-origins on espresso and pour-over through the V60. There’s also a daily option on batch-brew through the Moccamaster. The milk, meanwhile, is from the Estate dairy , with non-dairy alternatives in the shape of oat, soy and almond milks. If you’re hungry, there’s a breakfast menu, plus a selection of cakes.
