HEJ Coffee Academy is OPEN!

Not only Italian but also Scandinavian design!!!

From a scruffy depressing interiors we have created the very first HEJ Coffee Academy!
Located in a beautiful historic building in Bermondsey Square, London, this amazing new concept is bringing the best Swedish coffee for us all to taste!

HEJ is using Löfbergs Fairtrade coffee from Sweden and creates the most amazing cappuccino, latte and espresso!























The interiors have been designed by www.arcitetturamcmm.com located in Cambridgeshire. The overall idea was to recreate a Scandinavian log cabin feel by using timber not only on the floors but on the walls too. The feature wall displays wonderful light timber elements, a cozy fireplace and Eric, our quirky moose head coming all the way from America!

 




















The table tops have been made by artist Adam Fairweather using recycled coffee beans. Scandinavian chairs and stools, mostly in white, black and red have been selected from Skandium catalogue.
Artwork and canvases will soon appear on HEJ white walls! Upcoming talented artists will display their works here! Stay tuned!!






















The serving area reflects the overall Scandinavian concept. Clean lines, wood, linear details. The floor behind the serving area is red! Fantastic contrast with the light timber floor of the seating area! 

The best and most intriguing space is actually in the basement. HEJ Coffee is not just an amazing coffee shop but it is most importantly an Academy. HEJ Baristas will be trained by their own coffee experts teaching all about coffee, methods and origins. 


Fancy a cuppa! HEJ is your best Scandinavian spot in town!!
