Five The Beach

weston-super-mare has a seafront culture built around quick stops and familiar names, so finding a specialty coffee shop that actually takes the coffee seriously takes a bit of local knowledge. five the beach, at 5 the beach in clevedon, is where that search tends to end. the address puts you right on the seafront strip, which means you're drinking something considered and carefully sourced with the coast immediately outside. it's well regarded among people who know the difference between a place that happens to serve coffee and one that treats it as the whole point. clevedon's seafront doesn't get the foot traffic of a city centre, so the shops that thrive there do it on repeat visits and genuine word of mouth. worth going on a weekday morning before the beach fills up.
