Redemption Roasters by Lincoln’s Inn Fields, with a basement for working, a large outdoor seating area and wheelchair access.
A Coal Drops Yard coffee shop under a Victorian viaduct, from a roaster that trains prison leavers as baristas.

Redemption Roasters was set up in 2016, after the Ministry of Justice approached its founders about a roastery in a prison. It now runs barista academies in four prisons and says 34% of its shop workforce are people it has trained. The Coal Drops Yard shop sits under a Victorian brick viaduct on Lower Stable Street, with breakfast, pastries, sandwiches, lunch, indoor and outdoor seating and beans to take home.
It is down a flight of steps from Stable Street. Redemption’s two official pages give different hours here, so check before a trip.
Menus, opening hours and coffee selections change. The official website is the best place to check the latest details before making a special trip.
Redemption Roasters has 11 shops in our directory: Lincoln’s Inn Fields, Lamb’s Conduit Street, Broadgate, Drury Lane, Dulwich Village, Hampstead Heath, Islington High Street, Jermyn Street, St Giles High Street and Victoria Station. Compare every Redemption Roasters branch to pick the right one.
