Tucked away in a modern apartment block on Sury Basin, 139 Coffee is a no-nonsense spot that prioritizes quality coffee over pretension. You'll find it inside the Cycle Exchange space—a bright, concrete shell with windows on three sides that lets in plenty of natural light. The venue occupies the front-left section, featuring window bars along the walls and rows of tables, all while you can watch the open kitchen in action behind the counter. The coffee game here is solid, using the Caveman blend from Ground Coffee Society, and they pair it with a small but tasty brunch menu and plenty of cakes. It's a local favorite for cyclists and coffee lovers alike, with ample bike parking outside. The vibe is casual and functional—perfect for a quick coffee, a working session, or a relaxed brunch with friends.
A Local's Coffee Spot with Solid Brews
139 Coffee is the kind of place you stumble upon and end up recommending to everyone you know. Located in a modern apartment block on Sury Basin, it occupies a bright, concrete space that feels surprisingly open despite being tucked away. The venue shares its home with Cycle Exchange, so you'll see plenty of bikes parked outside—a clear sign that this is a spot for locals who ride.
The coffee is the star here, brewed from Ground Coffee Society's Caveman blend, and it's consistently good. The menu is small but thoughtful, with a selection of brunch items and cakes all made in the open kitchen behind the counter. You can watch them work while you sip your drink, which adds to the charm. The seating ranges from window bars to tables, so you can choose your vibe—whether you're working, chatting with friends, or just enjoying a quiet moment.
It's not fancy, but it's honest and reliable. The space is functional rather than decorative, but that's part of its appeal. If you're looking for a no-fuss coffee spot with quality brews and a friendly local vibe, 139 Coffee delivers.
