What we love

  • Espresso-led menu: flat whites and lattes done with care
  • Inventive cakes, a genuine draw alongside the coffee
  • Creative drinks beyond the espresso standards, including iced cocoa and a rose option
  • Plant-filled interior with a strong, lived-in room identity

Sweven Coffee★★★ Purist

Sweven roast their own, sourcing competition-circuit lots that rarely make it into a cup you can walk in and order: Geisha, Sudan Rume, Typica Mejorado, Sidra. The highest-ceiling roastery cafe in the South West.

Unica Coffee Ltd★★ Specialty

A working Southville roastery with four named single origins and the flavour vocabulary to back them up. Buy a bag of the Ethiopian; the floral tea and lime notes hold at home.

Boona Boona Coffee Roasters★★ Specialty

Boona Boona roasts on-site, so the beans in your cup were roasted this week. The address is an industrial unit in Bedminster, which is either a deterrent or the whole point.
