Bad Coffee, Specialty coffee roastery in Hackney Wick, London Borough of Hackney, United Kingdom.
Bad Coffee is a small roastery in Hackney Wick that sources quality beans directly from farmers worldwide and roasts them using careful techniques. The café serves both takeaway and sit-down customers in a modest space focused on coffee craft rather than scale.
The venue emerged from a wave of independent coffee shops that grew across East London as an alternative to chains. This shift helped transform Hackney Wick's character from an industrial area into a hub for small artisanal businesses.
The place takes its provocative name as a statement against pretension and corporate coffee culture. Visitors notice how this attitude shapes everything from the branding to the relaxed, unpretentious way people gather here.
The place is wheelchair accessible and has indoor seating along with a takeaway counter for those wanting to grab coffee quickly. It closes on Wednesdays but operates extended hours most other days of the week.
Each month the café hosts visiting roasters from other coffee businesses who bring their own beans to serve. This means customers can explore different growing regions and roasting styles without leaving the same spot.
