Slades Park Pavilion

a park pavilion setting doing specialty coffee properly is rarer than you'd think. slades park pavilion sits on ensbury avenue in the bh10 stretch of bournemouth, which isn't the part of town that gets written about much, and that's quietly part of its appeal. the locals who know it, know it well, and word has moved steadily outward from there. you don't have to be deep into specialty coffee to feel the difference here, but if you are, you'll notice it. nothing about this place is performing for an audience that isn't already in the room. the kind of spot that earns its place in a neighbourhood by being genuinely useful to it, not decorative. worth building your morning around a flat white on ensbury avenue.
