Much more than just a coffee hut! Seriously outstanding selection of coffee for both discerning and casual coffee drinkers. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, capable of giving you the benefit of their experience and local knowledge for the coffee scene. Pour overs as well as your average selection of essentials. You're outside or inside, so unlike the food stalls you can shelter from the elements.

This place is very well regarded in London's specialty artisan coffee scene, it's situated in a small food and art market called netil market, which is close to Broadway market. The coffee shop itself is in a converted shipping container. Despite the size there is space available to sit out of the rain to have your drink. There is a good selection of coffee beans available to buy, not cheap but the price reflects the quality of the coffee beans available. This place is one of the few places in London where you can buy beans from a coffee roaster called friedhats, based in Amsterdam Holland. Naturally I had to buy some. The coffee drink I bought was their house filter which was very good indeed, and actually tasted better as it cooled. The coffee beans I bought from them were very good too. Competition for specialty coffee is tough in London, especially in this particular part of London. I can safely say that paradox design lives up to its excellent reputation.
