good coffee, no fuss, dogs welcome
An independent espresso bar on Sim Balk Lane, pouring Divine small-batch coffee since 2022. Toasties made to order all day, sausage rolls baked each morning, and proper pastel de nata flown in from Lisbon.
2 Sim Balk Lane
Closed Sundays and Mondays, and we shut at noon on Saturdays — so it's worth a glance before you set off.

“Everyone loves the chilled vibe in the pod — people sit and chat, or dash in for a quick takeaway.”
Jeni Wood · Owner
The Coffee Pod opened in 2022 out of a love for coffee and for making a friendly place to enjoy it. It's independently owned and run by Jeni, who has many years in hospitality and cares a great deal about getting your coffee right.
The Pod is small — mainly takeaway, with a few benches inside and a couple of tables out front when the sun's out. We chat to everyone who comes in. We always have time for you.
