Rubicund Books and CoffeeFalmouth

"A bookshop in St George's Arcade where the espresso outperforms the setting. At least one regular now benchmarks every other cup against it."

What we love

  • Straight espresso taken seriously; the reason regulars return, not the shelves
  • Quality a clear margin above chain level
  • Independent, owner-run bookshop on Church Street

Forty Five Falmouth★★ Specialty

They roast in small batches on-site, sometimes that morning. The cortado is silky and strong, and the reason to order first.

Dark Pony Coffee★★ Specialty

Dark Pony roasts in-house. For a town Falmouth's size, the range and the knowledge to back it up is a genuine surprise.

Beacon Coffee★★ Specialty

Pour over and batch brew, staff who treat extraction as the actual job, and rotating beans to take home. Falmouth's most serious coffee stop.
