A Butter Market café where the homemade vegan cakes and fresh sandwiches share the counter with a flat white worth ordering. The easy stop between Reading's chains when you want the coffee to be properly made.

A Reading Butter Market counter where the flat white keeps pace with the cakes.

Lincoln Coffee House★★ Specialty

The filter coffee and the flat whites get as much praise as the bagels here, and the baristas will pour you a taste before you commit to an order. A King Street stop worth making for the coffee, not just the food.

Workhouse Coffee★★ Specialty

Reading's roaster-led coffee house on Oxford Road, with its own Workhouse Coffee Company beans on the shelf. Take a bag home and ask what's freshest.

The Coffee Van★ Everyday

A riverside van by Reading station where the barista talks you through the menu and the cappuccino comes out properly textured, never burnt. Worth a stop if you're waiting on a train and want a coffee made with some care.
