CASCARA

a slow morning in bath tends to move at its own pace, and upper borough walls is the kind of street that rewards you for not rushing. cascara sits at number 3, close enough to the roman baths that tourists drift past constantly, but the place pulls a crowd that's clearly there with intention. specialty coffee done seriously, which in practice means the sourcing and preparation get actual attention rather than background-noise treatment. locals who drink here regularly keep coming back, and that loyalty isn't built on novelty. it's built on consistency. if you're the type who wants a flat white made by someone who cares how the shot pulls, this is where you end up on a weekday morning before bath properly wakes up.
