Prompt, never rushed
Humble, yet assured.
Always with purpose.
The City of London has a long and rich coffee culture dating back to the late 1600s and we are passionate about contributing to the Square Mile to help make it one of the leading locations in the world for high volume specialty coffee.
In doing this, we seek to create the kind of coffee shops that we would want to go to ourselves. Nothing more complicated than that! Shops that help to make that little corner of London that little bit better for a Rosslyn being there.
We do this by contributing to everyone that we come into contact with. Our team, guests, suppliers, landlords, local community and the wider coffee community. We believe that success is best when shared and live that in what we try to achieve on a day-to-day.
At the end of it all what we do is quite simple…we are nice to people and we make great coffee.
“Rosslyn might represent a template for the next phase in the evolution of speciality coffee in London.”

What's in a name?
Rosslyn’s name originates from Rosslyn Street in West Melbourne, where James first learned to make coffee and a short drive from where Mat grew up. In Scottish Gaelic, ‘Ross’ translates to headland and pink, while ‘Lyn’ means waterfall. Hence, you will notice a lot of pink and cascading that runs through our imagery and branding (our distinctive take away cups being one such example).
