Stewarts of Trent Bridge is the reason to come here: a working roastery pulling shots from beans roasted on-site. Small area, but Blend and Stig's keep the locals well fed between visits.
Worth going out of your way
Good if you're nearby
A neighbourhood spot in Sneinton where the flat white has earned genuine local praise. Go for the big breakfast, stay because the coffee is better than you'd expect.
Blend is the kind of neighbourhood café that gets the basics exactly right: the toasties are seriously good and the coffee holds its own. A reliable, independent spot worth knowing about in Nottingham.
