Emsworth

There are more coffee shops in Emsworth than there are Estate Agents which is a good sign.

Loretta’s Coffee Bar on the High St is a quirky cafe with a distinctly Italian feel to it. Besides coffee, cake and a light lunch menu they sell olive oil, wine, post cards and newspapers.

Cafe on Platform 2 is another. However, more often than not, it is closed. But if you understand the difference half a mug of condensed milk makes to the usual house coffee, this is the only place to go.

Small batch roasters

Tom Osborne founded Craft Coffee House in 2015 and has spent many years in an old converted pig shed learning about the craft of roasting coffee though trial and error. Working with speciality origin partners who secure the best beans from farms all around the world which have been ethically traded and come with full traceability to the farms origin.
