Darkwoods beans from Yorkshire give the espresso more intention than the neighbourhood-cafe format delivers. The menu splits between coffee and matcha, which reflects what Crookes wants.

Darkwoods beans are the coffee signal in a cafe that runs equally on matcha.

Cloud Coffee Co★★ Specialty

The guest espresso rotates, chosen and sourced by the owners directly. Whoever's on bar can tell you exactly where it came from and what to taste for.

TA★★ Specialty

Roasts its own beans on site, a Colombian single origin that holds up clean on filter or espresso. Worth seeking out in Crookes.

Aesthete Coffee + Kitchen★ Everyday

Mother-daughter run across two Crookes sites, with housemade food and a garden out back. Uses 'speciality coffee' correctly, which narrows the field more than you'd think.
