Reads Coffee Roasters
We take particular pride in our award-winning espresso blends. Whilst our range of single estate beans is carefully and ethically sourced from across the coffee growing world to deliver great results for all tastes and brew styles. Highly recommended, a lovely family run coffee stop. Seating available cash or card payments MASSIVE COFFEE SELECTION.

There is of course a tea selection for all you weirdos out there, selection of ice cream and Saturday morning bacon rolls. Friendly owners and a charming cat to keep you company on your visit. Been ordering their Sumatra Bourbon espresso beans among others for a while and very happy with the excellent quality.

I'm descended from a family of Norfolk and Suffolk Flour Millers. My Great Grandfather, Robert Read, started milling in Beccles in the late 1800's. I'm always conscious of how similar, at a fundamental level, the coffee roasting and flour milling processes actually are. With South Westerly views across Honeycombe Wood, just to the South of Sherborne, we've been roasting speciality beans here in North Dorset for over sixteen years.
Our roast style, more traditional than some ultra-light antipodean methods, creates a smooth, bold result with an element of caramelisation, allowing our beans to develop full body for our espresso roasts, whilst offering controlled acidity, through complete development, for our lighter roasts. Once roasted, the coffee is promptly packed by hand before being rested and prepared for dispatch.

Fabulous coffee, expertly roasted and always delicious. Started ordering online during lockdown - best decision I could have made. Nothing beats a great cup of Reads coffee first thing in the morning. C

Been ordering their Sumatra Bourbon espresso beans among others for a while and very happy with the excellent quality. By chance on the way back from a trip to Sherborne Castle, I happened upon their premises. Very friendly and helpful, and bagged some up to order for me. Top notch all around.

Quite simply the best coffee in Sherborne. Highly recommend a visit to the trailer for a coffee and cake or bacon roll on Saturdays, as well as a nice chat. Love visiting Reads!

Well we didn't believe there was a coffee stop here but low and below there is.
What a great excuse to have a walk in that direction just so you can have a great cup of coffee and a hot chocolate, a friendly service and a nice stop all set in a rural location.. 🙂👍

I order from Reads on a fairly regular basis and I have to say the service always exemplary. Delivery is fast and if you have a query about the coffee, staff are always very helpful and knowledgeable. I've no hesitation in recommending them. Looking forward to lockdown relaxation so I can visit and sample the coffee on site!
