"One of the few Cheltenham cafes operating at specialty level, with Clifton Coffee on the grinder and a menu that tells you where the espresso grew."
3a Church Piece, Charlton Kings, Cheltenham GL53 8JN, UK
A neighbourhood cafe in Charlton Kings where the flat white is the specific reason to go. Quiet on weekday mornings, which is its own argument.
King Shots Coffee is a named specialty brand running out of a Montpellier park pavilion. The flat white is as good as the best independents in Cheltenham.
Clarence Street corner bar with Elsewhere Roastery in the grinder, DEYA on tap, and 60s furniture that fully commits to the French-bistro bit. The flat white is the one to order.
