The 3 Monkeys Sandwich Bar

the sandwich bar side of things is easy to overlook if you come in only for coffee, but you'd be shortchanging yourself. the specialty coffee here has built a genuinely loyal following on adelphi street, which isn't a thoroughfare people stumble down by accident, so the crowd it draws tends to be people who already know what they want. preston's independent scene is smaller than you might expect for a city this size, and the 3 monkeys sits comfortably within the better end of it. if you're nearby at lunchtime, the pairing of a flat white with something from the sandwich menu is the practical move, not the performative one. worth the detour from the flag market end of town.
