Grouch Coffee

Grouch Coffee is a speciality coffee shop on New Road in Moreton-in-Marsh, run by owner Kelly. The business began as an events operation with a three-wheeled Tuk Tuk Piaggio Ape, then traded weekday mornings at Kingham and Moreton In Marsh train stations before opening the fixed site in February 2021. The coffee uses a roast called The Good Brew from Allpress Espresso Coffee Roasters, alongside a bold decaf blend, both available in 250g bags to take home as wholebean or ground. Hot chocolates are made with Cadbury's, the masala chai from Henry and Joe's, matcha from Blendsmiths, herbal teas from Pukka and breakfast tea from Yorkshire. Alternative milks include Oatly oat milk plus Alpro coconut, almond and soya. Kelly, a baker's daughter, bakes cakes and brownies on site using a commercial oven and local Cotswolds ingredients. The food menu includes breakfast items such as overnight soaked oats, Grouch granola with greek yoghurt, porridge pots and breakfast smoothies. Bagels are served all day with fillings including roast chicken and homemade pesto, homemade peanut butter with fruit, pastrami with homemade honey mustard mayo, and cream cheese and chive with smoked salmon and smashed avocado. Cheese toasties come with a mix of cheddar and mozzarella, with options such as smoked ham, chorizo, marmite, red onion chutney and a brie and fig toastie. Everything is available to eat in or to takeaway, with a large majority of options made from scratch on site.
