Number 85 Coffee & KitchenBath Road, Cheltenham

"A Hewlett Road neighbourhood cafe with a flat white that Cheltenham's coffee-aware crowd rates above most in the city. The kitchen leads with brunch, but the barista is what keeps people talking."

What we love

  • Flat white singled out specifically by reviewers benchmarking it against the rest of Cheltenham
  • Barista skill praised directly, attributed to craft rather than setting
  • Kitchen-first menu with a strong brunch following
  • Local reputation built on coffee quality, not cafe atmosphere

Fire Truck Espresso★ Everyday

An espresso truck on the forecourt of St Luke's Church, Bath Road. At least one Cheltenham regular calls it the best coffee in the city, and they mean the coffee, not the food.

The Meadow Café★ Everyday

Dog-friendly stop beside Cox Meadow. Staff learn your order quickly, and at least one regular has decided the coffee beats everything else on the menu.

The Dug Out Cafe with King Shots Coffee★★ Specialty
Montpellier

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.
