"A working roastery outside St Ives with named single origins and three house blends worth tracking: Halcyon, Pard, and Poderosa. The team advises on grind and brew, which matters when you're buying beans to take home."

What we love

  • Own roastery, based at the Old Mushroom Farm, Halsetown
  • Three named house blends: Halcyon Blend, Pard, and Poderosa
  • Named single origins alongside the blends, Rwandan currently in rotation
  • Staff advise on grind setting and brew method for retail bean purchases
  • Online orders available; the roastery is the primary operation, not a sit-down cafe
