Divine Coffee Roasters roasts its own beans and pours them as rotating single origins right here on Market Street. Order the cortado, pulled precise enough to stay punchy without turning bitter.

200 Degrees roasts in Nottingham and the beans come here: single origins on the menu with tasting notes, retail bags on the shelf. The Spanish latte has a following for a reason.

A first-floor tea room off King's Square where the baristas know their range and will steer you to the right cup. Properly brewed, more coffee-serious than the setting suggests.

Italian-style espresso bar in the city centre, with flat whites that earn the description. The kind of place that rewards a coffee stop without requiring you to care about it more than you do.

The flat white is one of the better cups in the city centre, and the food is strong enough that the coffee earns its place alongside it rather than hiding behind it. Come for brunch, leave impressed by both.

The brunch is what most people come for. The latte is what brings regulars back.

Australian-style flat whites done properly, with house baking alongside. An independent worth knowing on Goodramgate.

The laminated pastries are the draw, and they deliver. Murmuration Coffee behind the bar keeps the drinks from being an afterthought.
