When the BBC’s motto, introduced in 1927, announced that “Nation shall speak peace unto nation”, a useful second line added should have been “But let’s do it after coffee”. If you’re searching for the perfect coffee near BBC Broadcasting House, we’d love to welcome you to The High Llama.
Just a short stroll from the BBC, our independent Lebanese bakery and deli has become a favourite stop for local professionals, creatives, neighbours and visitors looking for more than just a quick caffeine fix.

A Different Kind of Coffee Experience
At The High Llama, coffee is part of something bigger. It’s about slowing down, sharing good food and creating a space where people genuinely enjoy spending time.
Our coffee is carefully prepared using quality, organically grown beans from our partners at Extract Coffee Roasters that produce a rich, balanced flavour in every cup. Whether your favourite is a silky Flat White, a perfectly textured Cappuccino, a bold Espresso or a smooth Latte, every drink is made fresh to order.
For warmer days, our iced coffees offer a refreshing alternative, while our Jallab Matcha, Halva Matcha and Blue Chai have become favourites among regulars looking for something different.
