Sometimes you just need a hug in a mug.
That’s exactly what you’ll find at this brilliant independent…
Located on Stratford Road, Shirley, Bora Coffee is the independent coffee shop offering comfort in every cup.

At Bora Coffee they take their beans as seriously as their atmosphere – making sure each and every brew is cosy and comforting, just like the space they’ve curated. They want all of their guests to feel at home so they’ve designed the space to be calm and relaxing, a comfortable place to take a break.

The coffees at Bora Coffee are all made using carefully selected beans. Their signature Bora Blend combines coffees from Ethiopia and Rwanda to create a smooth and distinctive cup with fruity, winey, and sweet flavour notes. Alongside this signature blend they also offer a selection of single-origin coffees, including beans originating from Indonesia, Guatemala, and more. So whether you’re knocking back an espresso or sipping on a flat white, you know that your coffee has been carefully considered and created with the care and attention it deserves.

To bring out the best of their unique selection of coffee, they like to use manual brewing methods such as V60 and Chemex. All of the coffee blends at Bora Coffee are also available to purchase as beans in-store, so if you want to up your coffee game at home, you can pick up your favourote blend when you visit. They can even grind them fresh for you, ready to be used in whatever brewing method you use at home.

If you’re not a coffee person, or you simply fancy a change, they have plenty of other delicious drinks on the menu too. So whether you fancy a warming cup of tea or an indulgent milkshake, there’s something for everyone. Refreshing fruit smoothies and tasty frappes are available too – perfect for when the weather is a little warm and you need something to cool you down.

You won’t just find drinks at this neighbourhood coffee shop though, you’ll also find lots of delicious food options to get stuck into too. Their popular Bora Breakfast Bagel is a smash hit featuring streaky bacon, egg, cheese and crispy onions, as well as their Bora Breakfast. You can also enjoy Toasted Teacake, Bora Granola Bowl, a stack of Pancakes with a choice of toppings, loaded Jacket Potatoes, toasted sandwiches and lots more too. They have a daily selection of cakes too, with vegan and gluten free options too – so there’s something for everyone to enjoy.


As an independent, they’re keen to share the indie love, so Bora Coffee partner with local suppliers to ensure everything is fresh and high quality, from their farm fresh eggs to locally baked bread and cakes from local bakers.
