Swindon's European Coffee Trip-listed counter. Toby and Stephen run it, with flat whites that back up the specialty credential.

Listed on European Coffee Trip in a Swindon that doesn't get many of those.

What we love

  • European Coffee Trip listed; a curated specialty platform, not a general directory
  • Baristas Toby and Stephen are known by name to the regulars
  • Well-sourced beans; the people who care about that have noticed
  • Flat whites praised specifically for craft, not for atmosphere

Asylum Coffee Limited★★ Specialty

Note roasts on the premises and pulls shots from the same floor; come for the GWR blend or ask what's freshest off the drum. 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.
