Tobacco Factory0.5 mi from Southville centrelast reviewed May 2026

The Tobacco Factory's resident bakery, where the sourdough is the reason Southville comes and the coffee is good enough to come back for on its own. Get there on a Saturday when both are at their best.

Coffee treated seriously at a bakery where it would be easy not to bother.

Beans to go

What we love

  • •Whole beans stocked to take home, at the kind of prices that make it an easy yes
  • •Oat lattes on the menu; specialty-adjacent without the performance
  • •Espresso described as smooth and well-made, consistent across a bread-first crowd

Sweven Coffee★★★ Purist

Sweven roasts its own beans in Southville, buying rare, competition-grade lots that rarely turn up in a cup you can simply walk in and order.

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.

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.
