Espresso Lane
The cup
Independent specialty espresso bar founded in 2015 on a quiet city-centre lane running behind Pembroke Street, sourcing high-quality Guatemalan single-origin beans and serving gourmet baguettes alongside the coffee; a no-frills neighbourhood find that has resisted compromise on quality since day one.
