Good coffee.
Room to stay.
We roast every bean we pour. Come for a seat by the window, and leave with a bag of whatever you just drank.

Built for slow mornings, long catch-ups and the quiet hour after lunch. Pull up a stool and stay a while.
Every bean on the bar went through our roaster this week.
And nobody hurrying you out of one.
Your bag on your doorstep, roasted a few days before.
Usually gone by eleven. Everything on the counter comes out of our own oven.
All butter, folded over two days.

First tray out, first to go.

A long shared table, plenty of plug sockets, a sunny spot out front, and a corner at the back if you need it quiet.
Roasted on Tuesdays, out the door by Friday. Four on the shelf, never more.
Five steps, one room, about a week from green bean to your cup.
We buy small lots from four farms we have visited ourselves.
Tuesdays, in the back room, in batches of twelve kilos.
Three to five days in the bag before it ever reaches the bar.
Weighed, timed and tasted every morning before we open.
At the bar, at your table, or in a bag on your way out.
The only place I can actually get work done on a Saturday morning — before noon, anyway.

Here most weekends
I came for the flat white and stayed for the long table. I know half the people at it now.

The Usual turns up every other Friday. I have not bought supermarket coffee in two years.
