What we love

  • •Own roaster on the premises; roasts what it serves.
  • •Retail whole beans at the counter, including the El Tostador range.
  • •Owner walks through sourcing, roasting, and brewing with anyone who wants to understand their cup.
  • •Flat whites and cappuccinos are the reliable draws; espresso extraction gets real attention here.

Origin Coffee★★★ Purist

Origin Coffee is a Cornwall roastery. At Scoresby Street, that means named single origins on the menu, a rotating filter programme, and baristas who know the sourcing story behind every cup.

The Colombian Coffee Company★★ Specialty

The arch under Flat Iron Square is a working roastery, and the coffee tastes like it. House-roasted Colombian single origins, with staff who treat the bean selection as part of the service.

Calico Coffee★★ Specialty

Several pour-overs, staff who understand the bean differences, and a room designed around nothing but the coffee.
