Easton runs on brunch and community rather than degree-of-roast: 3ft 6 works out of a converted garage, and Baraka's food-led café pours Wogan's beans alongside it.

I am writing this from Ponta Delgada, where the coffee in front of me was roasted about four streets away. Normally that is the whole story.

An Easton bakery where the flat white earns the coffee-forward brand name. Come for the cruffins; the cup makes a case for itself.
The brunch is the reason to go. Flat whites are solid and the room earns a long sit.
The brunch-first neighbourhood spot Easton runs on, plant-filled and properly settled. Coffee does the job.
The brunch is what fills the tables, and the coffee is genuinely good rather than merely adequate. A dependable independent in Stokes Croft.
The kitchen leads at No12, which is the right call. The espresso is consistent and the room has the kind of independent character Easton does well.
A converted garage that Easton has quietly claimed as its own. Get there early on Sundays before the pastries run out.
A proper Easton community café with a food menu worth visiting for. Coffee from Wogans means the sourcing is taken seriously.
The matcha has a Bristol-wide following and the Karak is the drink Easton regulars order on autopilot. Tell them what you're in the mood for and they'll work with it.
