Visit The UK’s Great Coffee Shops

After 3 weeks exploring the South West of England it is clear as day to me that the best way to see a city is via its coffee shops. Why? Well the great artisan coffee shops are not only in the tourist hubs, but are usually located in the most underrated areas of a city. Each day we would adventure to a new city or village. We would research coffee shops, get our walking shoes on and go. The best part was along the way when we came across ancient churches, statues, markets, war time air raid shelters, and the most eclectic shops and houses.

So here is a coffee shop guide for you to use when on your next UK adventure. Each of these coffee shops come highly recommended and are some of the UK’s finest coffee establishments, well worth visiting. The coffee culture in the UK is booming and with innovative thinkers like the men at Colonna & Small’s we are sure to see great things from these northern baristas.
