Spicer+Cole at the RWAClifton, Bristol

"Extract Coffee on the house espresso, with a guest single-origin programme that rotates through The Barn, Workshop, and Crankhouse. The RWA gallery is the reason you're on Queens Road; the coffee is a bonus that earns its keep."

Burra★★ Specialty

The Clifton branch of three Bristol Antipodean-style cafes, all on the same Extract Coffee beans. Order the flat white; the brunch menu will take care of the rest of the morning.

FED★★ Specialty

Yallah out of Falmouth on the beans, single origins with tasting notes on the menu. The brunch crowd fills the room; the coffee rewards anyone paying attention.

Mercy Mercy Mercy★★ Specialty

Hard Lines Coffee from Cardiff is the roaster here, and the espresso programme is sharper than the food-first crowd suggests. Worth the stop even if the eggs are why you came.
