This is The Fallow Deer, an independent brunch café and coffee roaster on Teddington High Street. The café has been part of the local community since 2013, and we serve proper food, genuinely good coffee and a warm welcome for everyone who walks through the door.Coffee is at the heart of what we do. We roast our own beans, including our house blend Forest Dawn, and every cup is made on our La Marzocco espresso machine by a barista team that cares about getting the details right, from the extraction of the espresso to the texture of the milk.The question we get asked most at the counter is: how do you do that? So we decided to open up our bar and teach it. Latte art looks like magic, but it's really about a few simple techniques and plenty of practice, and there's nothing better than seeing someone pour their first proper heart and light up.Our classes are small, relaxed and hands-on. You'll be learning on the same professional equipment we use every day, in a friendly neighbourhood café, with coffee we roast ourselves. Whether you're a home coffee enthusiast, looking for something fun to do at the weekend or buying a gift for a coffee lover, we'd love to welcome you.
