Foundation Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

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.

Mount Zion Coffee★★ Specialty

Harbour-side specialty where the barista weighs doses, purges the grinder between varieties, and knows the sourcing. People travel to St Ives specifically for this.
