Chew the Fat Coffee

one of the better roasters operating outside of plymouth's city centre, and saltram terrace is an easy enough detour if you're already moving through plympton. chew the fat coffee sits in that particular category of independent roaster where the thing they're actually selling is the beans, and the cafe side of it follows from that rather than the other way around. you're not here because it's convenient or because someone put it on a list. the reviews have stayed consistently strong for a reason that has nothing to do with atmosphere or location and everything to do with what ends up in the cup. worth knowing about if you care where your coffee comes from before it gets to you. start with a filter on a weekday morning, when plympton is quiet and saltram terrace even more so.
