Black Sheep Coffee - Broad St

You'll find Black Sheep tucked right on Broad Street in the heart of Reading's main retail stretch—the kind of place that's become a genuine anchor for the neighbourhood. Walk in and you're immediately hit with the smell of properly roasted beans and fresh pastries. It's the sort of spot where locals actually camp out with laptops, not because it's trendy, but because the coffee is legitimately excellent and the service moves at a decent pace. The food's unfussy but quality: avocado toast that doesn't feel like a cliché, pastries that justify queuing, and breakfast plates that properly fuel your morning rather than Instagram your breakfast.
