poole.

In poole.’s tiramisu, the gentle bitterness and sweetness of espresso meet the aroma of gin. The dessert is made with freshly brewed espresso and a small measure of Finnish craft gin, Kyro Dark Gin. It lends a more grown-up note to a café classic, and could make a good pairing with coffee or a café au lait.

For a dessert-led visit, there is also Basque cheesecake and chocolate terrine. One diner described the cheesecake as moist and not too sweet, and enjoyed it with coffee during a café stop. On another visit, a diner paired the chocolate terrine with a whisky highball before ordering coffee. There are several ways to make sweets the focus, with different drinks to accompany them.

For a bar visit, the selection includes a wide range of craft gin as well as whisky. One visitor singled out Hendrick’s Amazonia gin for its bright aroma, reminiscent of pineapple. Visitors have also mentioned watching drinks being made at the counter. Even if you are not familiar with gin, it may be a good place to ask about different ways to enjoy it while choosing a drink.

Come for sweets and coffee in the afternoon, or stop in after a meal to take your time choosing gin or whisky. poole. is better suited to drinks and desserts than to a substantial meal. Terrace seating is also available.
