"Italian family cafe where dark-roast espresso sits alongside lasagna, skiacca, and gelato. Staff know what they're doing with the coffee."
54 Westfield Rd, Woking GU22 9NG, UK
The espresso rotates by origin, drawing from across the bean belt, with filter alongside. Not the programme you expected on Platform 2.
The name isn't decorative. Coffee-first and independent, on the residential side of Woking where the alternative is usually a franchise.
Bookshop and café where the coffee earns its keep alongside the shelves. The one genuine independent in Woking worth going in for the cup alone.
