Garraways Coffee House

Garraways Coffee House

Garraway claimed to be the first to sell tea to the public, but not, as far as we can tell, at the Change Alley site, where he moved his coffee house after the Great Fire of 1666, replacing another coffee house. Garraways was lost again in another fire in 1748.
