Gorgeous and smooth dirty chai. I also like that you can customise how dark you want the hot chocolate here. My favourite is 82% :)

Very casual coffee house with great range of coffees and teas. Pippin's doughnuts and sourdough toasties. Very chilled vibe.

Excellent coffee bar serving some seriously high end coffee. Lots of people seem to work in here. It has sparse furniture, so not cosy but very suitable for sitting and doing some work on a laptop or just popping in for coffee. Staff are friendly.

Not many places in Swindon offer great tasting coffee. This places never misses. Sitting down for a palate adventure in a laid back shop with neutral colours and the warning hug of coffee in the air. Never change Darkroom. Please!

What a lovely-lovely place! Followed a local resident's recommendation I walked into this cafe and just wow. Amazing, friendly & smiley staff, cosy atmosphere. I was only looking for a place to start my working day (only visiting Swindon for the day) and what a find this place was. Well done for all the staff, I most definitely will be back here. (The coffee was brilliant too!)

Went in just looking for a decent coffee to get the day rolling and came out just humming with how great the coffee was, and the avo on toast just ticked all the boxes for being both simple yet delicious. The server I had seemed lovely, and the vibe had a minimalist appeal that attracts those just looking for good coffee without the song and dance. I liked it!

Best coffee I've encountered in Swindon so far. Puddings are also good. Reasonable price to compare with other cafés but higher quality. Cozy, quiet, and staff are friendly but not over friendly which is nice.

I love this coffee shop. A very pleasant place to spend an hour or two at the weekend whether you’re alone with a book or with company. They always have interesting coffee which is unrivalled in quality and the staff are super friendly.
