Prufrock Coffee

Prufrock Coffee is a specialty coffee bar on Leather Lane, between Holborn and Farringdon, with a spacious, relaxed room that draws office workers, students and coffee enthusiasts. The focus is on carefully sourced beans prepared as espresso or filter, and the business also runs coffee training for professionals and home brewers.

Ask the baristas about the current filter options if you want to try something different from your usual order. Weekday lunchtimes coincide with the Leather Lane street market outside, which makes for an easy coffee-and-lunch combination. The café opens early on weekdays and later at weekends, and closes in the late afternoon, so it is best suited to a morning or lunchtime visit. Chancery Lane and Farringdon stations are each a short walk.
