What's your house espresso?

We currently use a proprietary blend roasted by the coffee geniuses (genii?) at Studio Coffee Roasters in Worcester.

We use a Brazilian/Ethiopian mix roasted to a medium degree, providing a phenomenally well-balanced espresso. This forms the base of all of our in-house coffee drinks.

Studio also provides us with our decaf option as well, in the form of a beautifully smooth, chocolatey Columbian option.

Do you sell your coffee?

Yep, you can buy our Hips Social blend in either 250g or 1KG bags.

At Hips Social, we also regularly have a guest coffee in, from all manner of coffee roasters from across the country, often available for purchase as well.

I've heard you do events?

We do! We have our own little coffee truck called Hips Kerbside (affectionally called Kirby by the team). We can provide coffee and cake for your events.

Please get in touch via the Contact Us link in the bottom banner below.

Do you run training courses?

Absolutely! Throughout the year, our crack team of baristas runs specialist evening training courses, covering everything from the origins of coffee to pulling espresso and even pouring latte art as well.

Wait so you review stuff as well?

Yep, that's right, coffee shop meets review website. A number on the team moonlight as journalists and felt that the coffee industry needed another voice in the mix when it came to top-quality coffee gear reviews.

Unlike other sites, we're coffee first and foremost, above all else. Working in a busy coffee shop gives us an awesome opportunity to put the very best coffee kit to the test. If you know it can hold up at Hips, you know it'll do well in your kitchen too.

Testimonials

Great café which gets it just right

Been coming here frequently over the last three months. Great café which gets it just right. They keep their menu small which means what they do they do really well. The best café in the area by a long way.

Excellent staff - very friendly and efficient

What a gem of a place. Small but quality menu with good veggie options. Nice atmosphere and dog friendly. Excellent staff - very friendly and efficient. I enjoyed a burrito and hot chocolate which were both excellent. This is the sort of independent cafes people need to support!

Really nice sandwiches, varied menu, and good atmosphere.
If you're in Lydney and fancy a cuppa (and maybe a cake), this is the place.

Amazing coffee and some delicious cakes

Fantastic coffee and cakes!
Stopped off here after a walk in The Forest Of Dean and enjoyed an amazing coffee and some delicious cakes. I enjoyed the coffee so much that I bought a bag to take with me and have been enjoying it at home.
