Golden Sheep roast in Gloucestershire, and this Shambles market stand is where you drink the results. Michael has tasted every batch since founding the roastery in 2018.
Fire & Flow on house espresso, a Cotswolds roaster whose founder has twice been a UK Barista Championship finalist. Guest coffees rotate across both espresso and filter, making this Stroud's most seriously coffee-minded room.
A lane-side stop in Nailsworth where coffee is the whole point, not the backdrop. Locals have a standing order here, which is the actual recommendation.
