"The pastry counter is the reason most people are there, and fair enough. The coffee runs rotating single origins by harvest season, more care than the Abbey Churchyard postcode usually delivers."
6 Abbey Churchyard, Bath BA1 1LY, 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.
