13 Abbey Churchyard, Bath BA1 1LZ, 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.
