Made on the La Marzocca Linea PB with the house blend from a roastery forty minutes up the road. The blend is a washed Ethiopian and a natural Brazilian, and it changes slightly each spring and autumn.

V60 pour-over

We use the V60 for most single-origins. The current bean is a washed Kenyan from Nyeri, with a clean citrus finish that works well black. Takes about five minutes to brew and is worth it.

£4.20
Sourdough toast with seasonal toppings

Two thick slices of the house sourdough, toasted on the griddle. Toppings rotate with the season: in autumn that's usually roasted squash with whipped ricotta and toasted seeds, or apple butter with a little sea salt.

A rotating bowl built around whatever grain is in season: farro, pearl barley, or spelt. In autumn it tends to come with roasted roots, a tahini dressing, and something pickled. Usually vegan.
