Cult favorite· sentiment 85/100

Square Mile is widely regarded as a benchmark specialty roaster, particularly within the UK coffee scene. They are frequently mentioned as a go-to for high-quality beans, with their 'Red Brick' and 'Sweet Shop' blends being specific community favorites. While one user reported finding a rock in a bag of Red Brick, this is treated as an isolated incident rather than a systemic quality issue, and the brand maintains a strong reputation for excellence.
