A stage for roasters & cafes
Celebrating independent coffee visionaries, La Marzocco’s rotating coffee shop brought together local coffee communities and allow them to share innovative ideas whilst creating drinks exclusively for visitors of LCF.
The True Artisan Café is an original “pop-up” rotating coffee shop concept that La Marzocco created to celebrate the visionaries and pioneers in the independent coffee community. The format made its debut at The London Coffee Festival 2012, taking home an award for “Key Feature” and one for “Best Stand Design”. It has since been a firm festival highlight, guaranteeing guests a festival worthy environment, in one of the busiest zones of The Truman Brewery.
