The Black Apollo Coffee House

The Black Apollo is the best speciality coffee shop in Holt.

This café has well crafted espresso-based drinks, that use very high quality beans. I also really appreciate the selection of treats available, especially ones for those with dietary restrictions. As someone who is gluten free, it's lovely to have the option to choose between a few items. I want to really highlight the cannoli - it was absolutely delicious!

The decor is what I would call whimsical. I love it! Some of the pieces - like the hare encircled with foliage - is downright weird, but delightful. There's also an abundance of art on the walls. My eyes never know where to settle, but I like that as it keeps me entertained and helps me stay present in the environment.

Overall - a great café in Holt that I would definitely recommend!

two magpies bakery

Two Magpies is a lovely café in Holt (with a few other locations across the UK).

The interior is very cozy, welcoming, and has a lot of options for seating. I was really pleased they allowed dogs inside. They also served puppuccinos with little treats on top that were downright adorable.

I was really pleased with the abundance of treats available that catered to a multitude of dietary restrictions (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free). Of the ones I tried, the amaretto cookie and tiramisu cake were highlights. I found the lemon square too bitter for my personal preference.

The coffee itself is good, but I wouldn't classify it as 'speciality' per se (i.e. they don't serve single origin beans from independent roasters). If you're not a coffee snob, then this won't be an issue whatsoever. I would classify it as a more upscale version of more conventional chains, with gourmet options of seasonal drinks.

All in all, a lovely café I would check out while in Holt!

byfords

Byfords is one of the most well-known establishments in Holt.

This B&B has an adjacent café that makes warming drinks and lovely nibbles in their rustic Georgian building.

If you want a comforting drink, stop by and enjoy some sips from a cafetière, or get a speciality latte.
