Turkey’s Cup of Joy to take on London’s specialty coffee heavyweights with Marylebone store

The Istanbul-based group’s first international venture will see it pitch up alongside some of the most revered specialty coffee operators in the UK capital

As one of London’s most affluent districts, Marylebone has become a magnet for high-end coffee operators.

Home to scaled specialty groups WatchHouse, Kiss the Hippo and Hagen, as well as boutique independents Special Guests and Shot London, Marylebone is also increasingly attracting international operators – including Japanese patisserie WA Cafe, Hong Kongese specialty roaster Oma and Tunisian boutique Oula.

Seeking to add further international flair to the district is Turkish specialty coffee chain Cup of Joy, which is set to make its overseas debut there in July 2026.
