Howards Cafe

lowestoft doesn't get much airtime in specialty coffee conversations, which is part of why howards cafe on london road south tends to matter more to the people who find it. the city has a working coastline, a population that runs on tea and routine, and not a lot of tolerance for places that overcomplicate things. howards sits within that context and holds its own. locally, it's well regarded, and that kind of reputation in a tight-knit community takes actual consistency to build. you don't get that from a town like lowestoft by being unreliable. the address, nr33, puts it in the southern stretch of the city, accessible and unpretentious. if you're passing through on london road south, it's worth stopping for a flat white before you continue wherever you're going.
