5/5 The Local Coffee C. 2 years ago on Google
In
this
series
of
blog
posts
we
discuss
some
of
our
favourite
local
cafes.
Up
today
is
the
brilliant
Full
Court
Press
on
Broad
Street,
Bristol.
Full
Court
Press
has
built
up
a
reputation
as
one
of
the
best
coffee
shops
in
Bristol.
The
slightly
abstract
name
refers
to
a
basketball
tactic:
an
uncompromising,
all
out
approach
that
reflects
their
commitment
to
the
quality
of
their
coffee
and
customer
service.
Located
in
Broad
Street
in
the
city
centre,
it’s
a
popular
coffee
spot
that
caters
for
local
workers,
shoppers
and
tourists
alike.
Thankfully,
they
have
an
incredibly
skilled,
knowledgeable
and
efficient
team
of
baristas
who
make
it
look
easy!
We
turned
up
on
a
cold
winter
morning,
made
our
way
to
the
counter
and
noticed
the
drinks
menu
on
the
wall
to
the
left.
We
studied
it
closely
and
the
polite
barista
asked
if
she
could
help
at
all.
She
explained
that
the
menu
changed
regularly,
as
Full
Court
Press
roasted
their
own
coffee
beans
and
also
worked
with
other
Bristol
coffee
roasters.
On
offer
today
were
espresso
options
from
Ecuador
and
Rwanda,
and
filter
coffee
from
Rwanda
and
Colombia.
We
opted
for
the
Rwandan
espresso
with
milk
and
asked
for
a
latte.
In
order
to
follow
the
rules
(Boris
–
hope
you’re
reading
this…)
and
maximise
Covid
safety,
most
of
the
seating
within
Full
Court
Press
has
temporarily
been
removed,
so
we
made
our
way
to
a
small
bench
near
one
of
the
front
windows
to
wait
for
our
drink.
We
took
in
our
surroundings:
a
nice
display
of
brewing
equipment,
bags
of
coffee
beans
(including
options
from
some
of
our
favourite
Bristol
coffee
roasters),
and
plants.
The
bar
was
also
overlooked
by
an
eye-catching
stained-glass
window.
Soon
enough,
our
coffee
was
ready
and
we
made
our
way
to
the
outdoor
seating
area.
It
was
great!
Hot
and
rich
enough
that
you
could
really
taste
the
flavours.
You
will
be
able
to
buy
a
cheaper
coffee
in
Bristol
but
in
our
opinion
a
cup
from
Full
Court
Press
is
worth
paying
that
bit
extra.
They
roast
their
own
beans
and
work
with
other
Bristol
coffee
roasters,
helping
contribute
to
the
local
economy
and
the
diversity
that’s
so
important
in
our
city.
Full
Court
Press
also
offer
a
selection
of
pastries
and
cakes
that
we’ll
try
on
our
next
visit!
