Silkies Café, nestled on Club Row in Shoreditch, was more than just a coffee shop; it was a creative hub where design, hospitality, and community converged. Founded by James Wise, the 2017 Coffee Masters champion, Silkies became a staple in London’s specialty coffee scene. Known for its meticulously crafted espresso and innovative beverages, Silkies attracted coffee enthusiasts and creatives alike.

The café’s collaboration with Sonos Studio further elevated its status. Located just a short walk away on Club Row, Sonos Studio served as a multi-functional space that blended music, art, and technology. Housed in a former catering kitchen for the Royal Family, the studio featured acoustically engineered interiors and hosted events, workshops, and exhibitions.

Together, Silkies Café and Sonos Studio embodied the creative spirit of Shoreditch in 2016, offering a space where quality coffee and innovative design coexisted seamlessly.
