The most consistent cup on Smithdown Road, in a room that feels like it belongs to the neighbourhood. They run latte art classes here, which is the kind of thing you do when you care about the craft.

What we love

  • Latte art classes on offer, more craft investment than most neighbourhood cafes attempt
  • Consistent pours: nobody has been served a bad, cold, or weak cup
  • A room that works as a proper local, somewhere regulars return to rather than drop in once
