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 Jewellery Quarter specialty cafe where Eddie's sourcing is doing the converting.

What we love

  • Coffee described by regulars in roasting terms, which points to either an own-roastery or an unusually close roaster relationship.
  • Precision brewing without fuss.
  • Eddie adjusts drinks to preference and will talk sourcing at length if you want.
  • Calm, design-led room off Hospital Street.
  • Staff knowledgeable and relaxed, specialty shop register rather than chain training.

Quarter Horse Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

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.

Java Roastery HQ★★ Specialty

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.

Besa Coffee★ Everyday

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.
