Lighter-roast espresso that tilts fruity, next to a toastie menu with its own reputation. The kitchen's farm-sourced instincts extend to the cup.

Farm-sourced instincts that reach the espresso, not just the toasties.

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.
