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 roast their own, sourcing competition-circuit lots and rare varietals that rarely make it into a cup you can walk in and order.

Unica Coffee Ltd★★ Specialty

A working Southville roastery with four named single origins and the flavour vocabulary to back them up. Buy a bag of the Ethiopian; the floral tea and lime notes hold at home.

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.
