En'route, 2A Station Approach, Sidcup (2026)

About time we share some good news!

Today officially marks the start of our build
An extension to our little coffee shop

Planning has been in the works for nearly a year now
And we’ve finally been given the green light to build our pergola 😌

We’re squeezing every inch out of this small space
While slowly introducing a new version of ourselves

Think of this as En’route 2.0 ✌🏼

Bold colours
A refreshed brand direction
Event nights
Great food
And a few more things to come

We’ll share a little more in our next video

But for now…
Let’s just hope the rain doesn’t destroy our concrete blocks 😅

Last batch of loyalty cards ☕️

We’re officially going fully digital ✌🏼

No more lost cards
No more “I forgot it at home”

Just an easier way to collect your stars and redeem rewards

Once these cards are gone…
Free drinks will be redeemable at 8 stars

Get your hands on one quick

Apparently even the little ones want one

Nothing says Tuesday morning like changing a coffee machine mid-service👨🏻‍🔧☕️

Some of you may have witnessed the issues this morning - apologies for the slow service, our coffee machine decided it had enough of us!

Thanks to Ed and Jaya for the helping hand 🙏🏼

Our backup 3 group La Marzocco has stepped in to save the day

Only problem is…
Now the shop feels about 3 sizes smaller

Thanks universe! What’s next 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think the team understood the assignment 🙏🏼

A few messages later
And this is what turned up 😌

Topped with our signature vanilla cold foam

Smells like peach
Tastes like peach
You get the vibe

Peaches and cream 🍑

Available all weekend

Hey Siri… when’s my next break ☀️😅

30 degree heat
More ice than you could imagine
And queues that never seemed to end

Unexpected closures
Things not quite going to plan

Still somehow keeping things moving

Let’s hope your bank holiday weekend was more relaxing than ours!

17/05/2026

The things you don’t get to see 😅

Never in all my years in coffee have I had so many issues in the space of two days

At this point, nothing really surprises me anymore

No matter how prepared or organised you are
Things rarely go exactly to plan

Coffee’s still flowing though
No matter what gets thrown our way ✌🏼

It’s the 1st of May ☀️

The days are a bit longer
So we’ve stretched our hours with them

Still open 7 days a week
Now closing at 4pm daily

More time for coffee
Less excuses not to get one 😌

Meet Ed ☕️

You’ve probably seen him floating about
And possibly making your coffee (No, I didn’t get a makeover)

Ed’s joined our small team because you’ve been keeping us busy

We don’t want you waiting too long for your coffee
We know you’ve all got places to be 😜

If you see him about
Give him a warm welcome

What a week!

Record after record after record ☕️

From wondering if moving to bricks and mortar was the right call, to now making the space our own

Words don’t quite cover how far it’s come

To everyone in Sidcup showing up for their daily brews
Thank you 🙏🏼

The machine’s had a workout
And as always, the team have been incredible

We might need a lie down 😅

See you soon ✌🏼

Levelling up

What does this mean…

Well, your going to have to wait and see 😜

Mums
What would we do without them

Keeping us grounded
While somehow keeping our dreams alive

From humble beginnings
To what we have built today

Putting out fires
While holding everything together

A simple thank you

Wishing all the amazing mums out there a wonderful day 🤍

Love
En’route

A little goodbye to

Danny’s been with us for the past 4 months
In that time he’s made a big impact on our little shop

Great coffee, plenty of laughs
And a few customers who turned into good friends

Super grateful our paths crossed
Wishing him all the best for what’s next

Just like that… I’m outnumbered again on the female to male ratio 😅

Grab one to share
Or not at all 😌

08/02/2026

Damn it feels good to be back 😅☕️

We clocked in, the coffee machine clocked out, the seasonal menu got aggressively taste-tested and the customers kept us smiling so we’re calling it a win!

Big love to the weekend crew for keeping the ship floating and the shots dialled in(ish)

Same again next weekend but ideally with fewer dramatic coffee machine speeches

Cups full, feet on the ground

Yes… we ran out of cookies 🍪

Some went to customers
Some went to “quality control”

The baker (being me) was on holiday

Now I’m back which means the NYC cookies are available tomorrow

Breakfast counts
Just ask 😜
