Bad Hand Coffee

bournemouth's coffee scene has been quietly building for years, moving past the seaside-town assumptions people arrive with. bad hand coffee, on norwich road in bh2, is one of the places that moved it forward. the regulars here are serious about what's in their cup, and the word-of-mouth that's kept bad hand's reputation strong isn't the kind you manufacture with a signboard and some nice chairs. you go once, and you tend to go back. the roasting side of the operation matters too, not just the retail experience, because a roaster making decisions at origin level shapes everything downstream. norwich road is a good place to end up on a weekday morning, flat white in hand, with nowhere particularly urgent to be.
