Extract Coffee from Bristol on the machine, with Stu behind the bar, who came up through Boston Tea Party and takes his grind settings seriously. The food reviews dominate, but the coffee has a legitimate roaster behind it.

Barnstaple's Extract Coffee anchor, where Stu calibrates rather than coasts.

What we love

  • Roaster: Extract Coffee Roasters (Bristol), sourcing organic beans from Uganda and Honduras
  • Stu runs the bar; Boston Tea Party background, active grind calibration
  • Best known as a gluten-free food destination; the coffee is the quiet reason to come

Barnstaple Bus Station Cafe & Takeaway★ Everyday

One regular calls the flat white the best in Barnstaple. At a bus station, that's the relevant detail.

Artisarni★ Everyday

Butchers Row stop where the coffee is locally roasted and the homemade cake has its own following. Worth knowing when you're in the town centre and need more than a chain.

51° North Coffee Co★★ Specialty
Chivenor

A working roastery in a Chivenor business park where the espresso is the real story. North Devon's answer to what the Bristol crowd has been doing for a decade.
