The owner runs the floor, the kitchen, and the espresso machine. Come for lunch; you'll stay longer than you planned.

The owner built a bistro where the espresso is better than it needs to be.

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.
