A courtyard find in Cobden Chambers, owner-run and clearly invested in the coffee. Worth hunting out.

A Cobden Chambers courtyard where the cortado gets described in flavour terms, not foam.

Pour-over

What we love

  • Pour-overs on the menu
  • Cortado praised for flavour complexity, not just milk ratio
  • Cappuccino milk technique solid; foam texture called out specifically
  • High-quality beans noted across visits; someone's already calling it specialty coffee

Cosmos Coffee★★ Specialty

Nottingham's most focused espresso bar, stripped to the product. No food theatre, no soundtrack; just a correctly pulled shot from staff who can explain the extraction.

200 Degrees Coffee Shop & Barista School★★ Specialty

200 Degrees roasts its own beans in Nottingham; the flat white here is the best on the high street. The in-house barista school is not incidental.

Punch Coffee★ Everyday

Owner-run with an iced flat white that draws regulars. Coffee is the whole point.
