There’s something beautifully normal, simple, and luxurious at the same time about an excellent cup of coffee.

Better yet is the joy of sitting in an inspiring, welcoming space to sip it and pass the time of day.

We believe that coffee and joy are for everyone, which is why at The Art House you can ‘pay forward’ a hot drink for anyone who can’t afford one.

The coffee is the same high quality, fresh in-house roast no matter whether you pay or not – and the welcome is the same, too. This is what mutual aid looks like – generous, warm, open-hearted. We like to think the whole world could look like this.

Thank you so much to each and every person who pays forward drinks, support us as a regular donor or just comes in and buys a cuppa.

These small acts of kindness and connection can mean the world to somebody who is having an awful time.
