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 the Jairo Arcila co-ferment is on the bar, that's the one.

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

The room runs on brunch orders, but the coffee is a Bristol roaster's direct-trade single origins with tasting notes on the menu. Filter and espresso, beans to take home.

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.
