Come for the za'atar croissant and a Spanish latte in a room that earns its regulars. Food runs the show; coffee keeps up.

The za'atar croissant and Spanish latte cafe Old City quietly relies on.

Full Court Press★★★ Purist

Full Court Press roasts its own and publishes what it pays producers. Two espressos and two filters rotate weekly, including competition-grade lots most roasters never source.

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.

Small Street Espresso★★ Specialty

Clifton Coffee as house roast, with guest espressos rotating from Bristol and further out. The programme is sharper than the neighbourhood setting implies.
