A family-run Southsea bakery that pours Routes coffee alongside fresh bread, pastries and cooked breakfasts, with a flat white worth ordering on its own merits.

A Southsea bakery whose Routes-roasted flat white outshines its own bread.

What we love

  • Coffee roasted by Routes, not an in-house pour
  • The flat white is the specific draw, not just an add-on to the bakery case
  • Daily bread, pastries and cooked breakfasts alongside the coffee

Bay Coffee★★ Specialty

A yellow VW van in Southsea doing proper coffee, not a gimmick: Sussex roaster Trading Post's beans, poured as single-origin nitro cold brew on tap.

SAND Cafe★★ Specialty

Southsea's brunch spot with an actual pour-over list: V60 and Chemex sit on the menu next to the standard espresso drinks, not tucked away for show.

Little Coffee★ Everyday

A coffee van on Southsea Common where the owner knows the regulars, pours a flat white people specifically rate, and keeps oat milk on tap.
