Meet Vincent, Founder of Knot Coffee & Pretzels – an idea he had with his wife on an 18 hour train ride across Central Europe in 2010, which now has sites across 4 London stations.
From a young age, I was drawn to cooking, which led me to start working in my uncle’s restaurant at 14. After pursuing a career in restaurants, my wife and I decided to open our own specialty coffee and pretzel stall in Kingston Market in 2011. Over the years we have open 8 shops in travel hubs.
We source our coffee from Union Hand Roasted. Starting at our market stall, our relationship has grown strong. Together, we’ve developed our bespoke blend “ Forget me knot “ that reflects our shared values of quality and sustainability. Union’s direct coffee sourcing aligns perfectly with our ethos.
We probably serve the best coffee in train stations and our pretzels are divine 🙂
Our name says it all. We are a pretzel specialist.
For me, coffee is intertwined with memories for every occasion. Whether it’s a rugged instant coffee shared with builders during a fit-out project, the unforgettable taste of single-origin coffee brewed on an Italian espresso maker over a wood-fired stove while hiking, or the simplicity of a V60 brew on an early morning at home, each cup holds a story. Coffee becomes richer when shared with others, fostering connections and conversations. This belief inspires our vision for our shop—to be the heart of a commuter community, where smiles are exchanged and conversations created.
