"Owner Lawrence sources from a Cambridge specialty roaster and will walk you through the supply chain if you ask. Milk pulled to the right consistency, served at the right temperature; worth the detour from Victoria Park."
7 Cork St, Lower Weston, Bath BA1 3BB, UK
The Bath shopfront of Colonna Coffee, a World Barista Championship-pedigreed roastery. Ask about the beans and you'll get a real conversation about extraction, not a shrug.
The Colombian founder sources the espresso from Finca las Cruces in Risaralda; the name is provenance, not branding. Bombon on the menu, retail beans by subscription.
A working roastery off Northumberland Place where staff describe the espresso by origin and flavour note rather than atmosphere. The single-origin programme rotates seasonally.
