Espresso-only service with beans on sale at the counter. The room leans brunch, but the coffee holds up on its own terms.

The espresso bar Folkestone locals have quietly made their default.

What we love

  • Espresso-only drinks menu, no filter or batch brew
  • Whole beans sold at the counter
  • Consistent barista team with a loyal regular following
  • Food-forward room; waffles and brunch lead, but the coffee isn't secondary

Steep Street Coffee House★★ Specialty

Cooperative-sourced single origins and single-estate coffees traceable to individual farms. The book-café framing on the Old High Street undersells what's actually in the cup.

Orchard Lane Coffee House★★ Specialty

Pour overs precise enough to bring a coffee-literate visitor back four days running. Staff who know the stock well enough to send you home with the right bag.

Harbour Coffee Co★★ Specialty

An on-site roastery at the end of Folkestone's Harbour Arm, roasting the beans it pours and bags to take home. The single-size policy says the rest: one thing, made properly, right by the sea.
