What we love

  • •Broadway Coffee Roasters of Southsea supplies the beans, a solar-assisted roaster held to the SCA 80+ specialty standard.
  • •Three separate grinders in use, with doses weighed per shot.
  • •The founder retrained into specialty coffee after fifteen years in hospitality before opening in 2025.
  • •Reviewers call it the best coffee in Southampton, praise echoed by a self-described fussy black-coffee drinker.
