The plan was to create a space that was similar to the awesome ones in the capital that were leading the 3rd wave with silky flat whites and delicious artisan sandwiches and cakes. After 6 months of searching for a suitable site, we found a greengrocer who was retiring in Bolton Road, and 8 weeks later we opened the doors on our new venue. Our success and growth have been driven by our dedication to great customer service, exceptional coffee and delicious food served in a relaxed contemporary environment for the community. This has always been the cornerstone of our business plan and we have a wonderful team who believe in our ethos. We are blessed to have regular customers who have supported us from those first few days and even some of the team who started in the first year, are still with us.

Urban Ground baristas prepare every drink to a specific recipe to make sure you get a perfectly crafted coffee every time. We are always working to hone our skills whether we're tasting, tweaking grind settings or trying out new latte art designs.​

Our coffee comes from Square Mile Coffee Roasters, founded in London in 2008 by Anette Moldvaer and James Hoffmann, the 2007 World Barista Champion. Square Mile helped put London’s specialty coffee scene on the map, and they still roast every batch at their roastery in Walthamstow, East London.

Sourcing sits at the heart of everything they do. Square Mile buy through long-standing, direct relationships with coffee producers around the world, many going back more than a decade, and roast each coffee to bring out its best flavour.

Our house espresso, Red Brick, is Square Mile’s seasonal blend. As the harvests change, so does Red Brick, so the coffee in your cup is always fresh and in season: sweet, balanced and smooth, with notes of chocolate and fruit.

Alongside Red Brick, we bring in guest roasters from around the country for our filter menu and retail shelf, so there’s always something new to try at the bar or take home.
