A specialty counter built on rotating guest roasters, so the filter menu is rarely the same twice.

Chester's specialty counter that swaps guest roasters before you've picked a favourite.

What we love

  • Guest coffee rotates through different specialty roasters, so the drip menu keeps changing.
  • The team behind the counter know their coffee and are happy to talk through what's brewing.
  • Regulars single out the coffee itself, not just the room.

High coffee bar★★ Specialty

Rufus Court hides one of Chester's most interesting coffee bars, easy to miss but worth actively seeking out. The story here is where the beans come from, not just how good the flat white is.

Obscure Coffee★★ Specialty

Pour-over and espresso here reward real attention, sharp enough that Chester's coffee crowd rate it as the serious option in the city. The beans go out the door with an actual roasting date printed on the bag, a level of transparency rare for Chester.

Bean & Cole★★ Specialty

A Chester city-centre stop pouring single origins from PLOT Roasting, the Woolwich specialty roaster, alongside rotating guest coffees from across the UK and Europe.
