Rosslyn Coffee boss James Hennebry tells us the secret to great coffee

James Hennebry, co-founder of Rosslyn Coffee, believes that the key to their success in the Square Mile is providing "world-class hospitality" with "exceptional coffee at pace." Despite the challenge of staffing their locations during the city's Covid-restricted days, Rosslyn Coffee maintains its commitment to serving high volume specialty coffee at a competitive level.

The co-founder notes that the Square Mile has changed since the first Rosslyn Coffee opened, with customers and staff now squeezed into a three-day workweek. However, the demand for quality coffee and hospitality remains strong, according to Hennebry. The co-founder emphasizes that Rosslyn Coffee's attention to small details, such as warm hospitality and consistent coffee quality, sets them apart from their competitors.

Rosslyn Coffee aims to be "on brand" rather than following trends, focusing on what tastes good to customers. The co-founder emphasizes that their typical customer is the go-getting city worker who appreciates quality and pace. Hennebry also mentions that some other City venues, such as Sweetings, The Ned, and The Ned, are highly rated.

For a perfect day in the Square Mile, the co-founder enjoys an early morning run, working alongside the team at a Rosslyn Coffee location, followed by a laptop session at the company's new HQ, a lunch from Salad Project, and finally, an afternoon workout at BXR's gym.
