The Office Coffee Company

if you're working remotely and need somewhere that takes the coffee seriously without making a performance of it, churchill road is worth the detour. the office coffee company operates out of units f and g on the churchill industrial estate in cheltenham, which sounds unglamorous, and honestly, it is. that's not a complaint. industrial estates strip away the theatre, so what you get is roasting and retailing with nothing to hide behind. the standing here is strong enough that people clearly come back, and not out of habit alone. you're not walking into somewhere coasting. whatever's in the hopper has been chosen with intention, and the sourcing decisions are ones you'd expect from a roaster treating wholesale accounts as seriously as walk-ins. worth timing a visit around the mid-morning lull on a weekday, when the roastery side of things tends to be in full swing on churchill road.
