For many of us, one of the best parts about traveling is kicking back in a beautiful coffee shop and savoring a tasty beverage while watching the world go by. There’s just something so cozy and relaxing about getting comfortable in a booth or sidewalk patio in between museum visits and guided tours; it’s a moment to blend in and feel like a local, if you will.
The United Kingdom is an excellent spot for coffee shop culture and a new analysis from Coffeeness has actually narrowed down the best cities across the UK for coffee lovers.
The analysis looked at over seventy cities across the country, and considered factors like the number of coffee shops and roasters, the price of a cup of coffee, search trends, and coffee-related events and festivals in order to find the absolute best cities for caffeine fiends.
These are the best cities for coffee lovers in the UK, according to the in-depth analysis:
Salford
It might come as a surprise but the town of Salford comes in first place as the best spot for coffee lovers in the United Kingdom. Located in Greater Manchester, this town boasts one coffee shop per every 189 residents which makes it by far the most coffee shops per capita than any other city in the UK. It also boasts more than 90 coffee-related events every year which gives the city a distinct edge when it comes to enduring coffee culture.
London
London is globally recognized as one of the best coffee shop cities in the world. The city has more than 4,100 coffee shops which equals about one coffee shop per 2,141 residents. London is certainly going to be the best bet when it comes to diverse coffee offers; the city boasts everything from your average diner drip coffee to Vietnamese iced coffee and Portuguese galão.
Preston
Preston might be on the small side but the arts and culture scene is burgeoning alongside the coffee culture. The city has a total of 496 coffee shops, which is about one shop per 203 residents, and the coffee shops are some of the highest rated out of all of the cities in the analysis.
Bath
There’s a lot to see and do in Bath—from the Roman spas to the Georgian architecture—but as it turns out the city is also a hot spot for coffee fiends looking for a great latte. It’s home to a total of four independent coffee roasters and a cup of artisan coffee averages around just £3.04.
Brighton & Hove
This seaside spot on the south coast of England is a haven for creatives and artists—and its residents actually consume more coffee than anywhere else in the United Kingdom!
