Please note, Espresso by K2 has now closed. Time Out Food editors, MARCH 2020.
When it opened in late 2015, this Aussie-run shop represented something of a sea change for the caffeine starved of Parsons Green. It may be attached to another business (the ‘K2’ in question), but the café is far from an afterthought. For a start, it’s a looker, with a granite-flecked concrete counter, bare masonry, zippy designer lighting and a sea of white tiling; and a decent grub offering of sandwiches, custard tarts, banana bread and the like. Of course, that’d be moot but for the coffee, which comes from Winchester’s The Roasting Party. Being an Aussie spot, flat whites are the go-to.
