This modern bar near to Chelmsford's railway station featured in the Good Beer Guide back in 2015. Nowadays, it's purely a late night venue for youngsters to enjoy cocktails, keg beers and loud music.
The name would suggest a coffee shop, but it's solely a bar and doesn't actually open until most coffee shops are shutting (4:30pm).
It's very dark inside the narrow interior. A DJ was setting up for the evening when we visited shortly after 7pm. At the rear is a partly covered outdoor area used by smokers.
The keg selection was Coors, Atlantic, Staropramen, Aspalls, Guinness, Pravha, Caffreys & Peroni.
Not worth the effort when there are plenty of decent pubs and bars in the vicinity.

Utterly fabulous. I stopped off here with my Mum & future Mother-In-Law before heading to try on wedding dresses. It was quiet, the decor is fabulous, very comfortable, with the option of sitting outside in the sun. There is plenty of seating outside both out the front of the building & out the back. The toilets were clean & the staff were incredibly friendly & sweet. The food was brilliant & very good value for money. Will definitely be back
