I'll be in Winchester in April. Do any of our UK folks (or UK travellers) have recommendations for good coffee shops in the area? I came across Baristas Coffee Winchester (http://baristasofwinchester.co.uk/) that looks good from my computer. Any thoughts on this shop? Any others?
I also found Winchester Coffee Roasters, but they look more wholesale.
The recommendation for the shop in Bath was fantastic, so I'm hoping to repeat my experience.

Hi Greg!
I live in Hampshire (same County as Winchester) and I've been to the Baristas Coffee place there recently with a friend it was definitely worthwhile the visit...
It was definitely worth the visit; I went every day for a week. :-) Most of the time the coffee was good. The beans are a little more dark roasted than I like, but I think that's more of a build on the European espresso style. I have a bag of beans at home now, and I am making fantastic milk drinks with them. Glad I was able to find the shop, and I recommend it to others in the area too.
