We spent our professional lives creating physical shops and making them work; And a disproportionate amount of our personal time hunting the perfect coffee. 

With a young family, luxury goods purchasing increasingly online and wanting to spend more time at home in London, the time felt right for us to create the coffee shop of our dreams with the same eye on function, detail and customer experience. 

To see the growing community and friendships thrive from our opening is the single biggest sense of satisfaction for both of us. 

We are proud to be one of only a few establishments who are currently using the MAVAM under counter espresso machine; 

Only launched months before we started planning TAB X TAB, we can’t imagine using anything else. 

Technically superior to most conventional machines. The MAVAM is elegantly inconspicuous allowing every guest to interact 

with our barista, without any barriers. For us, there is no machine as functional and beautiful as this one. 

We built our bespoke concrete counter around it. 

In lots of ways the MAVAM also represents what TAB X TAB stands for; Considered, low key, quality & details focused.

Each coffee cup shaped and made entirely by hand. We loved the pieces so much that all our crockery is also made by KANA by hand, taking several months ahead of our opening to create in full. 

We have also created a retail range, KANA X TAB, which is available exclusively at TAB X TAB.

Handmade tea-ware; 

Globe cups exclusively for our Matcha and Green Teas and beautiful dimple cups for our black teas.

Linda kindly agreed to move the dimples on our cups a smidgen so they’re even more palm hugging. 

BOCCA is a renowned coffee roaster based in the Netherlands.

Now an open secret in London’s coffee world, we are proud to have been the first establishment in the UK to serve and sell their beans.
