Don't mistake The New Black at Upper Circular Road as your typical takeaway coffee bar that's trying too hard to grab some attention by being vibrant, because it isn't. The New Black defines how the cafe culture is going to head in the coming years, putting an emphasis on espresso-based coffee served via taps and brewed coffee prepared by Steampunk mods. Here, it is more of a collective of various roasters from all over the world; familiar names such as Single Origin Coffee Roasters and Nylon Coffee Roasters are just two of the many roasters whose blends are available here. The blends are on rotating basis, so patrons can get a fresh taste on something new each time they walk in through the door. The New Black also serves light bites; a variety of croissants from local bakery B.A.O if you fancy a light bite, and remember to bring your card as they are cashless.
