Bubblehead Barista

one of the quieter corners of southsea, exeter road doesn't get the foot traffic of albert road but it has its regulars for a reason. bubblehead barista is an independent roaster, which means the coffee you're drinking started its life here, not in some central distribution warehouse. that matters. roasting in-house gives a place a kind of accountability you don't always find, a directness between the bean and the cup that's hard to argue with. portsmouth's specialty scene is still finding its shape, and spots like this one are doing the finding. if you're heading down to southsea anyway, exeter road is worth the small detour. start with whatever's on as the single origin filter.
