Gather Coffee supplies the beans, the espresso is reliably pulled, and the decaf holds up in a room where most people came for the food. The coffee-first visit is the better one.

More coffee-serious than Park Street usually gets, with Gather Coffee on the beans.

Beans to go

What we love

  • Gather Coffee on the beans, a named Bristol roaster
  • Rotating house blend, changes with the season
  • Decaf worth ordering, praised by regulars rather than tolerated by default
  • Retail beans available to buy in-store

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.
