Our Coffee Shop

We do good coffee

During your visit to the shop, and in the course of reading this website, you will notice that we’re extremely proud of our coffee.

If you’re an early bird and tend to visit the shop just after opening time, you’ll no doubt have witnessed Bob during his “test phase” – eyes closed with intense concentration, tiny glasses of espresso lined up in readiness for the taste test, perfect amounts of crema atop each shot.

Joking aside, its incredibly important for us to maintain the quality of an espresso – its our benchmark of excellence.

Bob’s procedures are carried out every single day and throughout the day to check the performance of the machine, tweaking and adjusting the grinder for perfection.

In fact, he’s kept customers waiting until he’s satisfied to serve their coffee of choice.

We believe it pays off, and, according to your feedback, so do you.

Our belief in your rights to true indulgence

Of course its not just all coffee and brownies.

We serve the finest quality teas, served in bone-china cups and from bone-china teapots. Our hot chocolate (dark, white or chilli chocolate madam?) is made from melted pieces of the smoothest Belgian chocolate, then sprinkled liberally with marshmallows, if you so desire.

We also serve freshly made soup (chilled in the summer), the most comforting slices of freshly made cake, cup cakes and home made dark and white chocolate florentines and delicious tiffin.

Everything we serve and sell is mouth-watering and truly, truly indulgent.

Fruit smoothies, iced coffees, and incredible milk shakes and flip-flops provide an excellent summer combination. Our delicious ice-cold drinks are available in gorgeous flavours and come in transparent cups so you can flash them around Marlborough, tempting your friends with their jewel-like colours.
