Where We Are Today

Shaks Coffee House is currently a cozy, local establishment in Walthamstow, London. We've established ourselves as a neighborhood coffee shop offering quality drinks and food, with comfortable accommodation options above our café.

Our current space features three bedrooms with unique character, a functioning coffee house with a growing customer base, and plans for garden space development. We're proud of what we've built so far, but we're even more excited about where we're headed.

The photos on this page show our current state - the foundation upon which we're building our vision. We believe in transparency about where we are in our journey, as we work toward creating the ultimate Airbnb and coffee house experience.

Where We're Going

Our vision for Shaks Coffee House is to transform it into a premier destination that combines luxury accommodation, exceptional coffee and dining, and innovative technology integration through cryptocurrency and NFTs.

We envision fully renovated bedrooms with premium amenities, an expanded coffee house with an enhanced menu, and a beautiful garden space perfect for relaxation and social gatherings. Our property will become a showcase for how traditional hospitality can embrace modern technology and sustainable practices.

The idealized images on our website represent our vision - what we're working toward creating. By being transparent about our journey, we invite you to be part of our growth story and experience the transformation firsthand.
