"The focaccia sandwiches are the draw and a genuine reason to come. The coffee is better than the billing suggests."

What we love

  • Scandinavian FIKA concept: coffee and food as a deliberate pause, not a transaction
  • Focaccia sandwiches are the kitchen's signature, and what regulars talk about first
  • Coffee called out as excellent by visitors who weren't expecting it
  • Craft drinks menu includes vanilla matcha alongside espresso
  • Calm, unhurried interior built for the long sit rather than the quick stop

Origin Coffee★★★ Purist

Origin are a Cornish specialty roaster with their own roastery, and the Victoria Street shop is the full expression of that. Single origins on the menu, tasting notes alongside, and baristas hired for their knowledge.

New Cut Coffee★★ Specialty

Colonna Coffee across espresso, batch brew, and hand brew, with a rotating single origin available in all three formats. If there's a Zambian on the hand brew, that's the order.

Society Café★★ Specialty

Single-origin filter rotates with the season. Ask the baristas what's on pour; they'll give you a real answer.
