Quarter Horse roasts its own beans in the Jewellery Quarter, sourcing directly from named producers in Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. The filter rotates weekly and the courses with Alex are worth booking.

Eddie runs ONE1 with a specialty coffee conviction that converts people. Precision brewing, a founder on the floor who'll walk you through what's in the cup, and a calm design-led space in the Jewellery Quarter.

The baristas here ask how you drink your coffee before they make a recommendation. That works because they roast on-site and rotate the origins themselves.

Careful sourcing across the board: pastries from an independent bakery, tea from a quality-first supplier, and staff who know exactly what you're about to drink.

A social enterprise in the Jewellery Quarter where the produce comes off the rooftop and everything else is made from scratch. The coffee is solid, which is all it needs to be when the food is this good.

Vietnamese coffee with cultural intent. The egg coffee and Vietnamese iced coffee are worth the Jewellery Quarter detour; staff know what they're serving and can tell you why it matters.

The rotating brunch menu is the headliner at this family-run JQ spot. The espresso holds up well enough to earn a second trip without the food as cover.
