After a busy day of book-buying we needed a coffee and found Bean Shot Coffee. Quirky with an odd sort of seating arrangements but we liked the sofas!

The cakes were delicious and the waitress very friendly and enthusiastic about the venue.

The coffee is SO good that one is never enough - expertly made and deliciously smooth. In fact, it's so good, so uniformly crafted, that no matter who made it, you always get the same great tasting coffee. As a customer, that's all I want. There's nothing worse than craving a good coffee, taking a sip and thinking "ugh - bitter!" - no, you don't have to worry about that here, my friend. The coffee here ticks every box, every time.
