They ensure transparency and support for farmers and everyone along the supply chain. Beyond coffee, they source all other products from local, independent suppliers, embracing the philosophy of small supporting small.

Fire Flow selects specialty coffee from growers who are as committed to ethical farming and staff care as they are to environmental stewardship. Every cup you enjoy at Rough Hands supports these passionate coffee growers. The guest coffee selection is always evolving, featuring the best espressos and filter options from roasters around the globe, ensuring a fresh and diverse coffee experience. But Rough Hands is more than just coffee. They offer chocolates from Barebone Chocolate, crafted in small batches in Glasgow using carefully engineered equipment to deliver pure, additive-free quality. From Cheltenham, Lara’s Tarts Friands add a sweet touch with incredible gluten-free friands and pastel de nata on weekends. Gluten-free lovers can also indulge in vegan cookies and brownies from Glazed Bakehouse during the week, with outstanding fritters on weekends. Plus, their sister shop on Bedford Street serves up amazing doughnuts and coffees to take away on Fridays and Saturdays.
