There is a brand new indie at Kings Cross if you are looking for an independent (self-declaratively) righteous, virtuous (literally – in terms of music) organic products and friendly café in the area. ”The Guitar Social ” X “Keystone Coffee ” moved into the former Italian Delicatessen space on 26 Caledonian Road, corner of Keystone Crescent, opposite the Tesco supermarket and seem to have taken the area with benevolently. From 8.00 am til 4.30 pm the shop functions as a vegan, sustainable, double-fair trade café (apparently, the real fair-trade) offering pastry and lovingly prepared sandwiches, and after 4.30 pm the space is all guitar venue and guitar school. 

Josh and Nathan, part of a cooperative of four who run the place, told me they all met through refugee-support-work they engaged in. One is a poet and author, and the other does business coaching. “We were attracted to this side of Kings Cross because there are many independent shops here. We felt there is also space for a vegan, more sustainable cafe.” 

Amazingly true locals and students will be rewarded with discounts there and when we visited on a morning at around 11 am, the café was well attended, with people sitting around cosy and pretty decorated tables on comfortable seats.

Welcome!
