By day it's a speciality coffee house pouring Taith Coffee's Lewes single origins as espresso and filter; by night the same room turns into a hi-fi listening bar. Get there before the turntables take over.

Southampton's specialty coffee house that turns into a hi-fi listening bar after dark.

Osoto coffee★★ Specialty

A single-origin pour-over from Dark Arts Coffee, poured inside a record store by baristas who'll talk you through why this particular bean tastes the way it does.

Barraquito★★ Specialty

Barraquito is known for its matcha, but the house espresso comes from Deveroast in Botley, with tasting notes of chocolate, brown sugar, stone fruit and honey printed right on the menu.

Tarquin’s Coffee Shop★★ Specialty

A Netley village cafe pouring beans from Broadway Coffee Roasters of Southsea, with a single origin on the V60 alongside the house espresso and decaf.
