The ScandinavianCoffee Pod
Speciality coffee. Done simply. A speciality coffee bar in the heart of Cheltenham, built upon the Scandinavian principle of doing simple, well.
We focus solely on the coffee.
We work with some of the best roasters in the UK and Europe, including London-based roastery Assembly Coffee. We try to avoid anything that would take away from the quality and taste experience of our coffee.

A 5-square-metre idea that grew.
Our heart is still in the original unique 5 square metre glass and steel yellow coffee pod — now the permanent entrance to our building at The Studios.
