We're building more than a coffee shop, but coffee comes first

VAXX is a coffee shop in Battersea for people with places to go, ideas to build and lives already in motion. We serve genuinely good coffee with a reliable service, then add the space, energy and community that can turn a daily coffee run into the best part of your day.

Our story

Built by people who know their stuff

VAXX is Vas & Giuseppe — two friends who spent years working behind the scenes in coffee before it had a front door: learning the product, supplying businesses and understanding what keeps people coming back.

The answer wasn't complexity. It was quality you can taste, service you can rely on and a place that feels good to walk into. So we decided to bring it all together and build the coffee shop we wanted to visit ourselves.

The journey so far

From online orders to opening our own front door

  1. 2020 — VAXX is born in London as a subscription coffee company, fuelling caffeine addicts with delicious brews.
  2. 2021 — Hand-selected for Best Coffee's roastery guide: 'Ones to watch, for sure!'
  3. Behind the scenes: supplying businesses and learning what keeps people coming back.
  4. 2026 — We find our corner in Battersea and build the café with our own hands — from bare walls to first pour.
  5. Opening soon — 12 September 2026 — doors open on Battersea Park Road. This is where the story really starts.

Why VAXX feels different

Made with an entrepreneur's mindset

VAXX was created by entrepreneurs, which means we know ambition rarely looks polished. It looks like early starts, late finishes, changing the plan, trying again and ordering another coffee.

That's why we're creating a place that fits real life: quick when you're rushing, welcoming when you have time and always ready with a good cup.

What matters most

The coffee has to be worth the trip

We take the details seriously so you don't have to. From the coffee we choose to the way each drink is made, our focus is simple: consistency, flavour and a cup you'll want again tomorrow. No lectures. No unnecessary theatre. Just people who know coffee and care about serving it well.

The coffee has to be worth the trip

A clubhouse, without the club rules

The best coffee shops do more than make drinks. They become part of people's routines — a meeting point, a reset button and sometimes the place where an idea finally clicks. Not a members-only space and not a room full of forced networking. Just an open, upbeat place where interesting people naturally cross paths.

Our home

Battersea first. Then, who knows?

VAXX starts in Battersea: local, energetic and full of people making things happen. We want to earn our place in the neighbourhood one coffee, one conversation and one familiar face at a time. The ambition is bigger, but this is where the story begins.

Battersea first. Then, who knows?

Bakery plays support

Alongside the coffee, you'll find a focused bakery selection chosen for busy breakfasts, slower mornings and well-earned afternoon breaks. Good food, no fuss — exactly as it should be.

Coffee for people creating what's next.
