Ware Coffee Lab

start with the filter coffee if you're not sure what to order. it changes often enough that asking is part of the point, but it's rarely bitter and never burnt, which says something about how it's handled. flat whites hold their own too, milk steamed just enough to soften the edges without drowning the shot. ware coffee lab sits on the high street, one of those stretches you walk past a dozen times before you actually stop in. people around here rate it, and not in a loud way. it's the kind of spot locals mention almost in passing, like it's obvious. no fuss, no theatre, just someone who clearly knows what they're doing with beans. go early if you want a seat. order the filter. sit by the window on the high street and watch ware go about its morning.
