The coffee is the point here, not a sideshow to brunch or the room. Espresso and flat whites pull the locals back to Allerton Road, and the loyalty is earned.

On Rose Lane, the espresso earns the return visits.

Baltic Coffee Co★★ Specialty
Baltic Triangle

A working roastery in the Baltic Triangle. The beans you're buying were roasted here, by the people behind the counter.
