OUR COMMUNITY
At Bean Shot, community is at the heart of everything we do. From our seasoned regulars to those popping in for the first time, everyone brings something special to our artisan coffee bar in Sherborne. It’s a place where a simple "how are you?" sparks meaningful conversations that flow as freely as the coffee. When we’re not serving Bloody Good Coffee, you’ll find us hosting intimate events like our popular ‘Vinyl Nights’. At Bean Shot, everyone is welcome.
We’re open and serving great coffee and cakes 7 days a week. Pop in for a chat, quiet hour, to work, or pick up your coffee to enjoy at home. Find us at 3 Johnson's Courtyard, South St, Sherborne, Dorset DT9 3TD.
Follow us on social media to be the first to hear about our events and to follow all the fun we have when we’re not busy roasting and serving Bloody Good Coffee.
OUR COFFEE
At Bean Shot, our specialty coffee starts with ethically sourced beans from trusted coffee farms and plantations around the World, ensuring quality and fairness at every step. Each batch is delicately roasted to bring out the unique flavours in every cup, offering a distinctive coffee experience crafted with care.
LOVINGLY ROASTED
Our Roast Master, Alex, carefully heats the green beans in a rotating drum. The process involves precise temperature adjustments to bring out the best flavours. As the beans go from green to brown, they pass through a "first crack" stage, a sign of vibrant flavour development. We stop roasting before "second crack" to preserve delicate flavour notes, quickly cooling the beans to lock in taste.
THE SHERBORNE TIMES
We were invited to feature on the cover of the iconic Sherborne Times earlier this year. Our feature encompasses our story, community, passion for Bloody Good coffee and our commitment to making a positive difference through ethical sourcing and operations.
“Our customers really appreciate the ‘crop to cup’ story behind their coffee. They like that it’s ethically sourced and fairly traded and that we try to be as sustainable as possible…”
