We sat down with the Musician | Athlete | @elsewhere_coffee legend to play cards and chat about everything under the sun. From the significance of the north London Cypriot diaspora on his upbringing to the mysterious clown room that his mother treasured, it was far too easy to natter for days with the big man.

A love letter to basketball and creativity.

As we gear up to turn a big T.W.O. years old, we have been reflecting on our journey and the friends (+foes) we’ve made along the way.

Meet our friend Aïssa. She is without doubt one of the most knowledgeable coffee experts in the industry and foremost authority on a decent bottle of wine after work!

In what used to be her vintage clothing store and coffee shop Coffee and Fripes, about the space's transformation to Peoples Wine bar, the weird number of volcanos in France, how much she loves what she does at Ensambles and the Mexican female separatist movement.

At their latest fabulous cafe ‘STEPNEY’S’ nestled inside Stepney City Farm, we nattered about why two best friends from arts school do what they do and why owning a cafe can be at odds with family life.

In Hackney Wick, Mandi’s haven of BAD Coffee was the scene of a photoshoot and rambling conversation about her beloved Warrington amongst other random insights into her intriguing life!

Meet our friends Kat & Zain. On a morning plagued by building works and traffic, we eventually got to have a coffee, taste some dates and reflect on their achievement of getting to six whole years of Paradox Design.

In Hackney Wick, we nattered all things death, mental health, starting the roastery for Grind and retirement with our friend Howey.

In one of the most chaotic, windy but hilarious shoots at her garden, we nattered about her hopes & dreams, Glastonbury, her deep love for her friends as well as the outdoors.

Eternally busy sums up Bugra and Giz of Lodestar coffee. So when we tried to nail down a date to get together, the only time and place we could settle upon was Lodestar…after hours.
