Elsewhere Coffee Roasters  Reviews 

I hardly ever buy products that use ads on social media, and almost never when it's coffee (I buy from small, independent roasteries I know and trust) But... Elsewhere intrigued me: Their logo, of someone disappearing down the rabbit-hole of specialty coffee, amused me. Their bean selection was interesting. The deal price was on point. I was low on coffee. Throwing caution to the wind, I ordered two different Ethiopian coffees: one washed, the other natural. They arrived, well-packaged, with a cute handwritten note thanking me by name for my order, within 3 days. Both bags were lightly roasted but, in the warm summer air, the beans smelled great. It's an art (and an exact science) to be able to roast this delicately, reach the flavour profile you want and not exceed it, and Elsewhere do indeed seem to be artists with this ability. Both coffees are delicious and match their tasting notes perfectly. It may not sound like much, but that's all it takes to know you have stumbled upon a great roaster. They're not the cheapest coffee roasters around, but with global coffee prices rising, Elsewhere's pricing is certainly in line with other roasteries who offer a product of this high quality. Geographically, they're fairly local too, based in South London, so my future orders, of which there may well be many, won't have to travel far.

Great coffee at a very fair price , love these guys

I love being able to get amazing coffee from Elsewhere for my office!

It makes such a big difference in my day to be able to drink nice coffee.

Great - as usual! Fast delivery, good coffee.

Pretty good delivery)
But there was one issue box which coffee was delivered in was dirty and a little bent

I ordered two bags of Juicebox, but each bag had completely different beans.

The first had small, dark beans with no chaff and only worked for espresso with a very fine grind. The second had larger, lighter beans with some dry chaff and needed a much coarser grind. I placed them side by side in daylight, and the difference was clear.

At first, I wasn’t sure I could trust what I received. There was a label, but the beans didn’t match. I contacted the roastery and didn’t receive a reply at first, but they got back to me later. They said one bag was likely their house coffee by mistake. They apologised, offered to send a fresh bag of Juicebox, and gave me a discount code.

This kind of mistake is a real concern. With speciality coffee, you trust the information on the bag to match what is inside. That includes the origin, process, roast, flavour, and how the coffee is sourced. If that trust is broken, the whole experience loses its value.

However, I appreciate that they took the matter seriously in the end and did their best to fix the issue. I hope they improve their quality checks in the future.

The website was easy to use, however the delivery was a slow. This shouldn’t detract from the coffee which is well roasted and priced and full of flavour. We had Loop de Loop which was really nice, if you’re looking for something a little different & Juice Box, which was also great!!

Coffee is outstanding & delivery was rapid

Absolutely beautiful coffee! Brought some into work to try and we all loved it!

The “cherry” experience was top drawer looking forward to “new” coffee experiences shortly if I’m in the area I’ll pop in otherwise use your mail order service great coffee great service

The website was easy to use, the delivery was super speedy & the little hand written note was the cutest. Oh and I must mention the coffee is amazing!! We had Day Dreamer & Juice Box, dammmmn they are great!!

Very high quality roaster, attention to detail and their Juicebox natural Ethiopian is just divine juicy fruity with vibrant acidity and 0 bitterness 🔝 🔝

Gorgeous funky fruity coffees, would really recommend trying Elsewhere. One of our favourite local speciality coffee shops had a few bags of the Aurora - Johan Vergara, Las Flores on their retail shelf which we picked up after a great recommendation, and we then ordered another few bags from Elsewhere directly.

Whether it’s online or at the roastery, Elsewhere are the best! It’s where my coffee journey started, and it just wouldn’t have started anywhere else!

Prompt reply, great customer service, fast delivery and nice coffee beans of course!! :)

Great flavours and quick dispatch. I like the information postcards about the origins

Great service and beans. Fast delivery
