Perks & White opens first central London location

Perks and White is set to open its first central London site at St James’s Market later this month. 

Located near Piccadilly Circus, the site will serve specialist coffee, sweet pastries and a range of breakfast and lunch options prepared daily on-site.

As long-standing partners, Perks and White and Volcano Coffee Works have collaborated to create a bespoke house espresso exclusively for all of Perks and White’s locations.

Volcano sources beans directly which ensures a direct relationship between Volcano and farmers, and that the coffee served is ethically sourced. 

Wherever possible, Perks and White also uses local suppliers and producers, with food made by local artisans, such as St John Bakery, Tooting’s Food by Toby and dairy supplier, The Estate Dairy, who sustainably farm milk in the Bristol countryside.

The lunch offering will include a range of toasted focaccias including Spicy tuna melt and a Bacon, brie and cranberry option. There will also be a fresh sourdough sandwich selection which will include Parma ham and fresh mozzarella and Bacon, heritage tomato, lettuce with a maple mayonnaise. 

The fresh array of salads on the counter, will display options such as a Superfood salad made with mixed quinoa, charred broccoli, avocado, shallots, golden beetroot  and pomegranate with a balsamic dressing.

Jason Perks, co-founder of Perks and White said: “We are thrilled to be expanding Perks and White into Central London; we strive to be authentic and honest in what we do, which we believe shines through in the coffee we serve and the fast and friendly service. Our South London customers tell us how much they love the quality of the coffee and atmosphere we have built; we are excited to create a new coffee community in the heart of Central London.”   

Co-founder Dickon White added: “We are delighted to be opening a new site in a different area of London. It has been nine months of planning to get to where we are, and this process has been made all the more enjoyable by working with our trusted suppliers to ensure the quality of what we have built in South London, is maintained in the St James’s Market location.”
