But to truly appreciate your cup, it’s worth knowing a bit about the history of coffee.

A Sip Through Coffee History

Coffee’s story begins over a thousand years ago in Ethiopia, where legend says a goat herder noticed his goats dancing with energy after nibbling berries from a certain tree. From there, coffee spread across the Arabian Peninsula, where it became central to social gatherings and intellectual discussions in the coffee houses of Yemen.

By the 17th century, coffee had reached Europe, sparking a wave of coffee houses in cities like London, where they were often called “penny universities” — places where, for the price of a cup, you could join lively conversations about politics, art, and science.

Today, the specialty coffee movement focuses on sourcing high-quality beans, transparent supply chains, and expert roasting techniques to bring out the unique flavors of each origin — and that’s the kind of coffee experience we deliver at Ello Bagel.

Why Ello Bagel’s Coffee Stands Out

At Ello Bagel, we use a premium blend carefully sourced from top coffee-growing regions like Brazil and Colombia, delivering notes of caramel, chocolate, and subtle fruitiness. Each batch is roasted with precision to highlight its unique profile, ensuring every cup we serve is smooth, well-balanced, and full of character.

Whether you’re grabbing a freshly brewed coffee near Roman Road, sitting in for brunch, or ordering via Deliveroo or Uber Eats, you can count on Ello Bagel to serve a cup that’s as thoughtfully crafted as our bagels.

We’re proud to be part of London’s growing artisan coffee scene, offering our community not just a drink, but an experience — one that connects you to centuries of coffee culture, with every sip.
