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.

Bristol's most connoisseur-grade roastery, buying competition-circuit lots most cafes never touch.

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.

Peggy's★★ Specialty

Triple Co Roast pulls the house espresso, with a seasonal guest slot bringing in small indie roasters on rotation. Brunch fills the room, but the espresso is the reason to come back.
