Temple Row0.1 mi from City Centre centrelast reviewed April 2026

A brother-and-sister-run spot on Temple Row where the porridge gets the kind of care most cafes reserve for espresso. Come for the oats; the coffee holds its own.

The porridge leads; the coffee backs it up without embarrassing itself.

What we love

  • Brother-and-sister-run, with the kitchen's attention going to the porridge first
  • Granola and sandwiches alongside the oats, on a food-first menu done with intent
  • The coffee is solid; it earns its place in the name

The Coffee Bar Collective★★ Specialty

Ask for the hand pour. Staff walk you through origin, process, and what to taste, and if there's a co-fermented or non-standard lot on the bar, that's the one.

Wayland’s Yard Coffee & Brunch Cafe / Diner★★ Specialty

Brunch fills the room, but the coffee holds its own: a house blend from an unnamed Bristol roaster, three origins deep, with tasting notes that swing from chocolate and fudge in espresso to vanilla, raspberry and cream in filter. Beans are sold to take home too.

Faculty Coffee★★ Specialty

Square Mile beans in the Piccadilly Arcade, with filter on the menu and retail bags for the walk home. The city centre's most serious pour.
