Hem Coffee

you're on park street, which climbs steeply enough that most people are already a little out of breath by the time they reach hem coffee at 56a. that's not a bad way to arrive somewhere worth slowing down for. bristol's park street has had plenty of coffee options over the years, but hem has built a following that keeps coming back, not out of habit but out of preference. the regulars here are the kind who notice when something's done well and vote with their feet accordingly. if you're working out whether it's worth the uphill walk, the short answer is yes. go mid-morning, when park street hasn't yet hit its afternoon peak, and order whatever's on filter.
