Tereza and Jon have been roasting in Margate since 2016 on a Loring Smart machine, with single origins named to producer level and tasting notes on everything. Cuppings and talks run as live programming, not occasional marketing.
An own-roastery café in a Margate arts studio, where the owner roasts everything on-site and pairs each coffee to its ideal brew method. Three manual options behind the counter, sourcing traced to named producers, and an owner who gives you more specifics about the cup than you thought to ask for.
A working roastery on the Westbrook seafront. The morning walk ends here.
On Margate's Marine Drive seafront, where the espresso earns its own reason to stop. Latte art that makes the coffee the point, not the backdrop.
The coffee flight on the menu is the tell: a Cliftonville brunch spot that has put real thought into the espresso side. The kitchen pulls the crowd; the coffee is there for whoever looks past the eggs.
The plant-based bakes are the headline here, but the coffee is consistently looked after. A community fixture on Market Street with genuine returning regulars.
A Cliftonville café where the syrups are house-made, the cold brew menu rotates seasonally, and the espresso earns its place alongside them. Order something from the seasonal menu and settle in.
