An Old City cafe-bar that sources its beans with purpose and isn't trying to move you on. Board games, swing seats, cocktails when the afternoon calls for it: a room built for settling into.
The coffee is better than the cocktail menu suggests.

Full Court Press roasts its own coffee in Old City and publishes exactly what it pays its producers, a transparency most roasters keep to themselves. The programme is run by a Q-Grader and SCA-certified roaster, which shows in the cup.
Old City gets the full Origin programme: named single origins with tasting notes printed on the menu, poured by staff hired specifically for their coffee knowledge.
Clifton Coffee anchors the espresso here, backed by a genuine rotation of guest roasters pulled from Bristol and further afield. The programme reads sharper than the modest Old City counter suggests.
