Vagabond Coffee Roasters

Vagabond N7 is the bigger offshoot of owner Dainoras Petrauskas's first shop in Stroud Green. Dainoras trained as a ballet dancer in Lithuania before coming to London to open his own shrine to caffeine, teaching himself carpentry to build the original himself. The Holloway Road shop has an industrial, unfinished feel, with exposed brick, reclaimed wood benches, and a front door handle made from an old coffee machine part.

Vagabond takes its coffee seriously and roasts its own beans, with specialty single origins and blends that keep changing, sold by the bag in the shop and online. There is a sheltered garden behind the building and plug points inside, so it suits anyone who wants to work over a good cup. Weekdays start at eight and close at four, and the weekend runs from nine to five.
