Enjoy Barista-Style Coffee in Our Cafés
Whether you’re popping in for a morning pick-me-up or a leisurely afternoon treat, our cafés serve freshly made barista-style coffee, crafted using our signature Stokes Barista Coffee 1804 Blend.
Lovingly slow-roasted to bring out its rich nutty and dark chocolate notes, with a subtle fruity kick, this exceptional blend is a favourite among our customers. It’s also ethically sourced, made with 100% Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance Certified beans, so every cup tastes as good as it feels.
Take a seat, relax, and savour the flavour of our 1804 blend – it’s a little taste of Lincolnshire coffee culture at its best.
