About us
We opened our first shop on Whitecross Street in 2009. After ten years of experience working in the coffee industry, we wanted to create our own space to socialise, think, create and be inspired over a great cup of coffee. From the beginning we set out to be different and our concept was well received against the backdrop of London's unique Barbican neighbourhood. This drove us to keep going, so we opened our second shop on Curtain Road in 2011, with a third location on Farringdon Road in 2021. We serve thousands of coffees a week to our friends and regulars. From professionals seeking a non-committal meeting space, to local coffee lovers stopping by to check out our latest guest coffee. We are a meeting point for stimulating social exchange for our customers. From the eclectic soundtrack to the unique lighting and decor, FWD:Coffee is a point of curiosity as soon as you walk through the door. Read more about us here.
Diversity and inclusion
FWD:Coffee is dedicated to inclusivity and equality of opportunity. Improving diversity is widely recognised as making sound business sense and we believe a company made up of mixed ethnic groups, backgrounds, religions, age and gender are likely to be more successful than those which are not. We believe that employing a broad cross-section of society also makes our organisation more adaptable to new situations and embraces new voices.
