Everything below is made with the house blend unless the board says otherwise. Filter changes every week or so; when a lot runs out we write the new one on the chalkboard the same morning.
Espresso bar
Pulled on the house blend — Kaaiwind, 70% Brazil, 30% Honduras. Ask for the single-origin shot if the board says one is on.

Allergens: wheat, milk, egg, nuts and sesame all pass through one small kitchen upstairs, so nothing here can honestly be called free of them. Say the word at the counter and someone will read you the sheet; it lives in the drawer under the till. VAT is included in every price shown. Prices were last adjusted on 1 February 2025, and we hope to leave them in peace until the spring.
