COFFEE WITH IMPACT
Founded in Peckham in 2015 by two childhood friends, Old Spike started with a clear mission: to roast some of the UK’s finest specialty coffee while helping people transition out of homelessness through a unique training and employment program.
Ten years on, we roast over 100 tonnes of coffee annually, have supported more than 350 individuals through our barista program, and operate 7 cafes across London.
Supporting our mission couldn't be easier, purchase a bag or sign up to our susbcription and enjoy each cup of coffee knowing its supporitng someone in need.

our coffee
We take pride in our approach to sourcing speciality grade green coffee from countries of origin based on the principles of direct trade, quality and seasonality. We ensure the coffees we serve are as fresh and seasonal as possible to showcase the wonderful diversity of flavours and aromas found in different coffees around the world.
In addition to our focus on direct trade and seasonality, we have a strong focus on quality. Higher quality means a better price for the farmer so it is very important that we continue to work with the producers that consistently supply us with high scoring coffees. This helps them secure a higher price which is often 4 - 5 times higher than the Fairtrade minimum.

OUR IMPACT
At Old Spike, we’re a social enterprise with a dual mission: to tackle homelessness in the UK and to champion sustainability through the power of specialty coffee. Every cup of coffee you buy fuels our impact, with 65% of profits directly funding our social and environmental goals.
But our impact doesn’t stop there. Sustainability is woven into everything we do—from sourcing ethically grown beans to implementing eco-friendly practices in our roastery and cafes. We’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint while creating meaningful social change.
At Old Spike, we’re proving that great coffee can do more than taste good—it can do good, too.
