Flat whites here are precise, oat milk steamed for natural sweetness, espresso balanced and clean. Order the Opus Magnum when you want four shots done properly.

The coffee is more serious than the steampunk setting suggests.

Strangers Coffee Company★★★ Purist

Strangers roasts its own coffee on Dove Street, naming single origins down to the farm and printing tasting notes on every bag. Ask what's currently in the roaster; the answer moves with the crop cycle.

Kofra★★★ Purist
16 Onley St

Kofra roasts its own beans in Norwich, then treats extraction with the same rigour as the roast. Ask where your coffee came from and you'll get a specific answer, not a shrug.

Kofra★★★ Purist
1 Bell Rd

Kofra's own coffee lands on the counter here exactly as intended, with an espresso and batch-brew setup built to do it justice. Ask what's running on batch brew and let the staff walk you through it.
