The Block

Redemption Roasters is a London-based specialty coffee roaster on a mission that goes beyond great flavour: they train prison leavers with the skills for meaningful employment in coffee. With eleven shops across the capital — from Bloomsbury to Victoria — they're a proper presence in the London scene. Their house coffee range covers approachable blends like The Block (milk chocolate, praline) alongside more adventurous single origin offerings like Burundi's Mugoyi anoxic natural (cola, lime, cranberry). You can grab beans online or subscribe for regular deliveries. Recently honoured with The King's Award, their work proves that excellent coffee and real social impact can go hand in hand.
