Old Spike Peckham

Upon entering this compact coffee haven, one is immediately struck by the effortlessly urban ambiance, characterized by a lively yet minimalist design that invites patrons to focus sharply on what truly matters here—the coffee. The space, though intimate and bustling with a vibrant crowd, manages to balance between serving efficiently and crafting beverages with precision. It is apparent that the baristas' expertise plays an integral role in this success, with special praise often directed at a particular team member sporting a stripey jumper, renowned for concocting unparalleled brews that leave a memorable impression. A standout on the menu includes a batch brew, showcasing a rotating selection of beans, offering repeat customers a dynamic tasting experience with each visit. Additionally, freshly baked pastries, such as the tantalizing cream cheese cinnamon bun, serve as perfect companions to the rich and meticulously crafted coffees. Despite the limited seating that nudges patrons toward a quick pit stop rather than a lingering visit, the swift service and infectious queer-friendly atmosphere make this spot a local gem.
