H R Higgins

The only coffee merchant with a royal warrant from the Queen. David Higgins is royalty among coffee aficionados, and his love of coffee is contagious. His grandfather, Harold, the H in HR Higgins, was one of the first coffee men in WWII London. Churchill was a client, and his father created a special blend for HMQ. Try the pour-over coffee in the downstairs cafe. There are three bean choices, and the knowledgeable staff will help you if your nose fails. They grind the beans in front of you and pour the water slowly to let more air in. It brings out more nuanced flavours.
