No. 11 Espresso Bar

You'll find yourself wedged between the Georgian architecture and the morning commuters on Princes Street, clutching a properly pulled shot that tastes like someone genuinely cares. No. 11 is the kind of place where baristas know their extraction times and won't apologise for it—they're pulling single-origin beans with the focus of a surgeon. The space is compact, properly compact, which means you're either grabbing and going or standing shoulder-to-shoulder with other caffeine seekers, but that's precisely the point. It's Bath's answer to the coffee bars you'd find in proper coffee cities, minus the pretension.
