Five named blends and a Blue Mountain cappuccino that has earned a proper following on Mill Road. Tell Mohammed what you usually drink and he'll point you to the right one.

The Blue Mountain cappuccino is the open secret on Mill Road.

Beans to go

What we love

  • Blue Mountain cappuccino with a genuine repeat following among regulars
  • Five named house blends, each distinct enough to have its own fans
  • Mohammed steers new customers to the right blend for their taste
  • Espresso and milk work both praised specifically, not just 'the coffee'

Bean Theory★★★ Purist

Bean Theory is a working roastery in Newnham that happens to have a cafe out front. Single origins traced to the farm, retail beans from the same stock they're brewing.

Hot Numbers Coffee★★★ Purist

Hot Numbers roasts on site. Come for pour-over from beans they sourced, roasted, and dialled in themselves.

Flux Coffee★★ Specialty

Marsi sources the beans, pulls every shot, and hand-throws the ceramics she serves them in. One of those neighbourhood spots that rewards the detour.
