The spot

Why go here?

Chapel Market Roastery is a working roastery and cafe on one of Islington's oldest market streets, a few minutes from Angel station. The beans are roasted in-house and the menu is short on purpose: espresso, batch, a couple of filter options and something sweet on the counter.

  • Small-batch roastery on Chapel Market
  • Single-origin espresso and rotating filter list
  • Beans roasted on site, available to take home
  • Calm, coffee-led room, no laptops crowd
  • Five minute walk from Angel station
  • Roughly 25 to 30 minute walk north to the Emirates

Who is it for?

Perfect for

  • Arsenal fans who would rather start with a flat white than a pint
  • Specialty coffee drinkers on a London city trip
  • Early arrivals at Angel before the matchday pubs are going
  • Anyone picking up beans to take home from a trip

Local tip 🇬🇧

This is the calm pre-match move, not a noisy boozer. Pair with a pint at The Pig and Butcher or a pub on Liverpool Road if you want both before kick-off.
