Ingredients
Good Italian cooking does not depend on unnecessary complexity. It begins with the quality of what goes into the dish.
Our story
Italian roots. A London family.
The story of a roasting craft, a generous kitchen and the people who made Fazenda feel like home.
More than a café
Fazenda is built from the things Antonio and Annarita love most.
Coffee, food and modern art sit together because they belong together in the life of the family. What began in Italy has become a welcoming, international place in Spitalfields—personal, creative and open to conversation.
From Italy to London
A tradition carried forward, not frozen in time.
- 1981
Fazenda begins in Fiuggi
The business is established in a small town about an hour south of Rome, surrounded by woodland and green mountains.
- Puglia
Learning from a master roaster
The family spends several years in southern Italy learning the traditional wood-fired craft before opening its own roastery.
- The craft
Choosing the slower method
Fazenda remains committed to seasoned wood, longer roast times and the judgement of the individual roaster.
- London
Coffee, food and art find a new home
Italian roots meet London’s international energy. Fazenda becomes a café and gallery shaped by the people who gather there.
- Today
An extension of the family home
At 9 Harrow Place, Antonio and Annarita continue to share home-cooked food, traditionally roasted coffee, art and genuine hospitality.
Family hospitality
Personal by nature.
Fazenda’s warmth is not a brand exercise. It comes from owners who are present, food that is made rather than assembled, and a room where guests are treated as people rather than covers.
That is why the early Time Out description still feels true: the café behaves like an extension of Antonio and Annarita’s home.
