The Scandinavian Coffee Pod

The owners source beans from respected roasters and know how to extract the best from them, so whether you're someone who thinks about coffee or just wants a good cup, you'll notice the difference. They've created a Scandinavian-inspired interior that feels fresh in this corner of the Cotswolds, and they pair the excellent coffee with freshly made Nordic-style baked goods that work perfectly for breakfast or an afternoon snack. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious rather than fussy, which is part of why it works so well. You can grab something to take away if you're on the move, or settle into the outdoor seating and spend a quiet moment watching the world go by. It's a natural stop if you're exploring Charlton Kings itself or you're heading between Cheltenham town centre and the wider Cotswolds. Locals have adopted it for good reason, and you'll likely find yourself returning if you're after something that feels a bit different from your standard cafe experience.
