Asylum Coffee Limited★★ Specialty

Roasted on the premises, with shots pulled 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.
