Great present for coffee fans

I bought the Indy Coffee Guide England: South for a coffee-obsessed friend for their birthday and they loved it. They’ve now purchased the full collection so wherever they go in the country they can find a great independent place for a brew. I also know that whenever I go to their place I’m guaranteed a tasty coffee as they now know all the best roasteries!

Emily Lloyd

Perfect-size books to take on your travels

Must-read books for coffee lovers. We have the full collection so no matter where we visit in the UK we know where to find speciality coffee and delicious cafe food. It makes a great gift and is an excellent addition to your coffee table.

Rowan Wilson

Lovely books that are full of excellent recommendations for coffee

Each book is beautifully laid out, with great photography and commentary on each coffee shop providing insight into some wonderful places to grab a cup of coffee. Throughout the book there are also sections shining the spotlight on local roasters that supply many of the shops in their respective regions.

Adam Bruce

Essential and informative guide to independent coffee shops in my area

I plan a journey and look in the guides to see what coffee shops are in that area then visit them.
