Asylum Coffee Limited★★ Specialty

The shop counter for Asylum's own small-batch roastery nearby in Wiltshire, where the week's roast lands as espresso and pour over. Come for the GWB house blend or ask what's freshest. Worth finding your way to BSS House.

Light Bulb Coffee★★ Specialty

Swindon's micro-roastery operates out of Hop Kettle Brewery, roasting new-crop specialty beans on an Aillio Bullet. Six single origins on the bar menu, named to Colombian and Brazilian producers rather than just country.

Town Gardens Café★ Everyday

A park café in Town Gardens where the setting and the flat white are working together. Seasonal food, a local roaster on the machine, and the right stop when the walk needs an ending.
