a neighbourhood coffee house for good coffee, warm bakes and long sits. come in sleepy, leave with a pastry and probably a new favourite seat.
hello, neighbour
coffee when you need it, food when you’re hungry, something sweet because obviously, and somewhere nice to be while the day figures itself out.
specialty beans, roasted upstairs twice a week. careful sourcing, no snobbery. coffee people will get it. everyone else gets really good coffee.
out of the oven at 10

the usual suspects
what everyone orders (and you will too)
menu
first sips, flaky layers, cravings, buttery crumbs, gooey middles, second coffees, warm cups.
drinks
the space
pull up a chair. stay a while.
big windows, a long table for laptops on weekdays, a dog bowl by the door and a roastery humming upstairs.
bean to cup
from a farm in huila to your flat white, in four small steps.
01 · source
we start by finding coffees that genuinely get us excited.
direct relationships with farms we visit, paying well above market.
02 · roast
we develop the roast, dial in the recipe and taste every batch.
small batches every tuesday and friday, upstairs.
03 · brew
we brew for sweetness, clarity and balance.
every espresso is weighed. every filter is timed.
04 · pour
after that, it’s yours to order however you like.
oat, extra shot, half sweet — we really don’t judge.
your order, your way
oat? extra shot? no ice? we don’t judge.
what people say (unprompted)
sofia
says…
came in for a flat white, stayed three hours. the almond croissant is a personality trait now.
marcus
says…
the cold brew fixed my monday. the staff remembered my name on the second visit, which felt illegal.
hana
says…
tiramisu is coffee-forward and not too sweet, which is exactly what i want from a dessert at 11am.
olly
says…
best decaf in manchester, and i will die on that hill. also great music.
charlotte
says…
perfect place for a solo coffee that turns into two hours and a second bun. no one rushes you.
dev
says…
did the latte art class with my sister. made one heart, eleven blobs, zero regrets.
the crew
we make coffee and bake things, sometimes simultaneously. dollop is run by people who care about good drinks, good bakes and remembering your order.
emotionally attached to oat milk.
ellie
head barista
can tell a roast day by the smell on the stairs.
sam
head roaster
always knows what’s coming out of the oven.
nadia
pastry
the reason your latte looks cute.
theo
bar & brunch
remembers your order before you do.
priya
front of house
will convince you to try the filter.
jonah
weekend bar
the stamp card
nine coffees, the tenth is on us.
no app, no sign-up. grab a card at the bar (or we’ll stamp the one on your phone) and every hot or iced drink earns a stamp. gift cards work for beans, bakes and the barista class too.
community board
a little corner for what’s fresh, interesting or just very us lately.
some days need coffee. some need pastry. most days need both.
