Algerian Coffee Stores opened on London's Old Compton Street in 1887 under the ownership of an Algerian national now remembered only as Mr. Hassan.
There’s a certain nostalgia that clings to London’s Soho; “it’s not what it once was” is an almost constant refrain. Carnaby Street, famous for its nonconformist fashion in the Swinging Sixties, is now filled with chain stores. Many of the area’s most insalubrious haunts are long gone, and in their place mostly restaurants, which come and go. The pace of change is rapid and not all change is bad. The spirit of bohemia hasn’t totally left Soho, however.
Though it can’t claim to be the oldest coffee house in the capital , the shop has gained a reputation among caffeine connoisseurs, who regularly fill the scant floorspace. “You can often see if someone’s new to the shop, because they come in, they just look around and sometimes they say, ‘wow,’” says Crocetta. “They’re a bit dumbstruck.” Though only one or two stores may pre-date Algerian Coffee Stores in Soho , the co-owner is reluctant for the shop to be labelled an institution.
