Sorcerer Coffee

About Sorcerer Coffee

Sorcerer trades from a Victorian railway arch on Forth Street, directly behind Central Station and about two minutes from the concourse, in a unit that was previously a nutrition shop. The brick vaulting has been left exposed and the fit-out leans on eighties film ephemera, VHS tapes and posters, which gives it a distinctly different feel from the pale-timber Scandinavian look that dominates the rest of the city's specialty scene. It appears in the European Coffee Trip city guide.

Coffee is Dark Arts, the East London roaster, but the kitchen is as much of the draw: deli subs made to order including a salt beef sandwich and a rotating special, cheese toasties, avocado toast, granola, and an affogato built on house-made vanilla ice cream. It is dog friendly and the frontage catches the sun, so the outside seats fill first on a bright day. The Forth Street arches are an easy detour if you are waiting for a train.
