The Best coffee shop in the UK is Four Corners in London, according to caffeine-loving fans voting in the first ever Coffee Stop UK Awards. Over 60,000 votes were received across ten award categories celebrating the best of the country’s thriving coffee scene with Four Corners, an independent coffee shop in Waterloo scooping the top prize.

Public voting for the Coffee Stop UK Awards took place from 4-13th May with winners announced at the Caffè Culture Show (#CaffeCulture2015).

CEO of Four Corners, Gary Baxter, said: “We’re delighted to have been voted Best Coffee shop in the UK – it’s truly been an amazing and humbling experience.

These awards are a fantastic chance to both engage with our customers and to celebrate all independent businesses all over the country. Bring on next year!”

The Coffee Stop UK Awards are the brainchild of coffee lover and author Chris Ward whose best-selling book, Out of Office, extols the virtues of working more creatively by escaping the confines of the office for coffee shops.

His popular London Coffee Stops Tube Map signposting the best coffee shops near each London Underground station was seen by over three million people in two weeks last year and prompted the launch of the London Coffee Stop Awards which attracted votes from over 18,000 coffee lovers from across the Capital.

Chris says: “The awards amazingly attracted over 60,000 coffee-loving voters which reflects the huge growth in this sector. The winning shops have already reported a surge in custom since they’ve proudly started displaying their winning blue plaques.”

Caffè Culture Show Director Cheryl Carroll says: “These inaugural national awards champion the best of the UK’s thriving independent coffee scene. Voters have demonstrated in their tens of thousands their passion for speciality coffee and we wish every winning and highly commended coffee shop every success.”

The Caffè Culture Show (#CaffeCulture2015) is the leading annual event for the UK café industry and took place on 13-14th May at London Olympia.
