Forge Valley Roasters - Brew Bar

You'll find Forge Valley tucked away on Huntriss Row, in that part of town where locals actually spend time rather than tourists wandering about. Walk in and you're immediately hit with the smell of freshly roasted beans—they roast their own here, which already puts them miles ahead of the chain coffee shops clogging up the seafront. The space has that comfortable, no-nonsense vibe: good light, decent seating, and staff who genuinely care about what's in your cup. Order a filter coffee and watch them actually pour it properly. It's the kind of place where you'll notice regulars settling in with laptops or catching up with mates, everyone there because they actually want to be.
