Through the House

Walk into Through the House and you'll immediately clock the kind of place that takes its coffee seriously without the pretension. It's tucked on High Street in the city centre, and it's become exactly the sort of spot locals queue for on their way to the office—not because they have to, but because they genuinely want that cortado. The vibe is unpretentious but undeniably quality-focused, with a simple setup that lets the coffee do the talking. You'll find yourself stood shoulder-to-shoulder with regulars who've clearly been coming for years, all united in their devotion to a decent cup.
