Chapter 72 is an independent coffee and cocktail shop at 72 Bermondsey Street, run by husband and wife team Rod and Ellie. The compact, relaxed cafe serves the neighbourhood from early morning into the evening, shifting naturally from a work friendly coffee stop by day to a sociable bar later on.
Coffee is the foundation of the daytime offer, made with beans selected from a roaster that shares the owners’ emphasis on ethical sourcing and good farming practices. Espresso based drinks sit alongside hot chocolate and other cafe choices, with careful preparation giving regulars a reason to make it part of their daily routine.
Pastries and light food such as sausage rolls, sourdough toast and toasted sandwiches provide something substantial enough for breakfast or a simple lunch. The short food selection suits the small space and lets the cafe concentrate on well made staples rather than trying to operate as a full scale restaurant.
Cocktails become more prominent as the day progresses, with espresso martinis particularly closely linked to Chapter 72. Classic and flavoured variations connect the evening drinks list back to the coffee counter, creating a distinctive day to night venue that works for an early caffeine stop, a light bite or drinks with friends.
