Vella Nero

Vella Nero's coffee credentials are immediate the moment you walk in. They come in the form of ‘Bella' who stands sentry at their Clarence Street headquarters - she's big, broad, strong-smelling, hard grinding and sparkling with lascivious intent... she's Velluto's on-premises roaster. From Bella's guts spring six Arabica-dominated blends but our pick is their award-winning, super-smooth, soft-punching Signature Blend. Recently changed name from Velluto Nero.
