Bell Rd0.9 mi from Norwich centrelast reviewed April 2026

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.

The Norwich counter for a roastery that runs batch brew like it runs espresso.

What we love

  • •Roasted in-house at Kofra's Upper St Giles flagship; Bell Road pours the same beans.
  • •Espresso pulls through a Rancilio RS1 with independent grouphead boilers and temperature profiling.
  • •Filter is ground on an EK43 and brewed on a Bunn Infusion Brewer customised for pre-infusion and pulse-brew.
  • •Single-origin retail beans are sold to take home for brewing yourself.
  • •Staff are consistently described as knowledgeable, walking customers through the batch brew options rather than just pulling shots.

Strangers Coffee Company★★★ Purist
10 Dove St

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

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.

Strangers Coffee Company★★★ Purist
21 Pottergate

Strangers built Norwich's specialty coffee scene from a roastery on Dove Street and run three city-centre cafes off the back of it. Named single origins, tasting notes on the menu, batch filter alongside espresso.
