To our dear friends and loyal customers.

It is with great sadness that, after 9 years, we had to close Espresso Library. This closure is sadly permanent.

We will still be around in our store on St Andrew’s Street, for the time being. Pop by to say hello, we would love to see you.

Whether you’ve known Espresso Library from day 1 or just discovered it recently, here are some photos to honour our fantastic 9 years. We would like to thank you for your support over the years, it really meant the world to us.

Farewell! ❤️
