The Common Espresso Bar on a corner of Clapham Park Road with a black fascia and a lit window

The Common Espresso Bar is an independent coffee shop on Clapham Park Road, just around the corner from Clapham Common station, serving specialty coffee from Union, the East London roaster. The house blend is Bright Note, built from family farm coffees such as Timana in Colombia and Primavera in Brazil, served as a double shot with fewer or more shots on request.

There is wifi and you are welcome to settle in with a laptop, and dogs out on their daily walk are met with a treat of their own. Vegan friendly and gluten free options sit on the counter, with oat, almond, soya, coconut and lactose free milks. The shop is plastic free, with recyclable cups, biodegradable straws and used grounds handed out for customers to compost.
