Turkish-owned, with Turkish coffee on the menu and a drinks list wide enough that regulars come back for the drinks alone. Food drives most of the tables, but the coffee programme has its own following.

Turkish-owned and it shows in the coffee menu, on the Barbican cobbles.

What we love

  • Turkish coffee on the menu as a named preparation, not a novelty addition
  • Drinks list spans well beyond espresso; dirty chai among the specifically praised options
  • Food-led atmosphere, but the drinks programme earns its own repeat visits

Alfresco★ Everyday

A traditional Italian espresso bar on the Barbican waterfront that takes preparation seriously. If you're down here and coffee matters, this is the right stop.

Ope★ Everyday

A Plymouth bakery open three days a week, with an inventive food programme and a cold brew that runs boozy and raisiny. The coffee is paying attention here.

The Kitchen Plymouth★ Everyday

Union Street stop in Stonehouse running Culture Blend beans through an espresso bar that takes coffee seriously. The food is the draw for many, but the flat white holds its own.
