Climpson & Sons has been part of the Broadway Market scene in Hackney since 2002, when founder Ian Burgess moved from a market coffee cart into a permanent cafe at 67 Broadway Market. The cafe serves coffee from the company's London Fields roastery nearby, and the business is now a fixture in the East London coffee scene.

Climpson & Sons is a certified B Corp with a B Impact Assessment score of 110.4, and tracks carbon emissions in real time across its three London sites. The roastery focuses on long-term producer partnerships, with over 90 per cent of coffees coming from repeat purchases and an average partnership length of five years.

The longest partnership is a 13-year relationship with Daterra in Brazil, alongside Fero in Ethiopia and Migoti in Burundi. The seasonal Broadway Blend sits next to single-origin coffees from Brazil, Ethiopia, Burundi, Myanmar, Rwanda, Tanzania and Colombia.

The cafe is also SALSA approved and supplies wholesale accounts.
