The Roastery Plant
Roasting Plant’s new coffee bar is now open in the Selfridges’ Food Hall. Simply head down there to select your freshly roasted beans, before watching them fly overhead – ‘Willy Wonker’ style – via pneumatic tubes before they make their way into the hands of expert baristas. With seven sustainably sourced beans and four blends to choose from, customers can create something specifically suited to their taste. And, from October, customers will be able to order coffee made from beans roasted on-site at Selfridges.

KUDA Cocktails
A rum-based cocktail cultivated by a mother-and-two-daughters team, KUDA cocktails come ready-made, so all you have to do is shake, and pour over ice. Based on a family recipe originally hailing from the West Indies, at the moment there’s only one signature blend available – but we expect plenty more are in the works.

Sea Arch
Made in Devon, Sea Arch’s alcohol-free drinks are crafted using traditional distillation techniques and ingredients such as juniper, bitter grapefruit, blood orange, and cardamom. The maritime flavour comes down to wild seaside herbs like sea kelp and samphire – plus, the entire range is vegan friendly, eco-conscious, low in sugar, calories and free from sweeteners and allergens. No wonder it doesn’t give you a hangover the next day.
