The Triangle's most espresso-focused bar. Come for the shot; the food is beside the point, and the regulars who've found it know that already.

Espresso taken seriously in a city that doesn't always ask for it.

Bad Hand Coffee★★★ Purist

Bad Hand is Bournemouth's roastery. Go for the Tasting Room, leave with beans and a subscription you didn't plan on.

live on cafe & bakery★★ Specialty

The V60 is on the menu, not as a curiosity, and the barista behind it knows the difference. One of Bournemouth's more credible specialty stops.

Ounce Coffee★★ Specialty

The house roast and a rotating guest bean give you two genuinely different espresso options, with baristas who can explain the distinction. One of the more considered espresso setups in Bournemouth.
