Finca roasts in Dorchester and pours named single-origins from the furthest point in their six-cafe run. Coffee Zero is the flat white locals land at after the Tor; Glastonbury Art Cafe holds the best espresso in the town centre.

I am writing this from Ponta Delgada, where the coffee in front of me was roasted about four streets away. Normally that is the whole story.

The full English earned the reputation, and brunch here is worth a slow morning. The room doesn't rush you.
The food at FARA is serious enough to plan around. The coffee gets the same care, even if most people don't come for it.
The kitchen is the draw: generous plates and easy hospitality that make Glastonbury worth lingering in. Coffee holds its own, but the food is why regulars come back.
The kitchen is the reason Glastonbury locals keep coming back. Coffee is reliably good and does its job without fuss.
The art fills every inch of the room and the espresso is the best Glastonbury offers. Come for both.
The Assembly Rooms, Glastonbury: homemade chai, sourced cacao, and espresso from an independent that takes its drinks menu wider than most.
The place Glastonbury regulars land after a morning on the tor, for a proper breakfast and a flat white that holds up. Dog-friendly, unhurried, and honest about what it is.
Hidden garden out back, local artwork on every wall, and a kitchen that gives you a real reason to be here beyond the coffee. The coffee doesn't let the room down.
A working farm café with a seasonal menu that takes its kitchen seriously. Come hungry, and stay for the setting.
Relaxed independent in the centre of Glastonbury, with pastry worth slowing down for and espresso that does its job. Not a coffee destination, but the easy stop that Glastonbury's main drag needed.
