Quick info
About Vibe With Coffee
Vibe With Coffee is a coffee shop and roastery on Hounds Gate in Nottingham, where the beans are roasted on site and the coffee machines and roasting equipment are on view. The coffee comes as espresso or hand-poured filter, and milk drinks are finished with latte art. The matcha latte sits alongside a matcha Basque cheesecake, and the cake slices also include an orange layered cake with yuzu jelly. Bar-style seating at the front lets customers watch the drinks and food being made. The space is small with limited seating and a dark-toned interior. The shop opens daily, and dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the matcha, praising the matcha latte as authentic and well balanced between bitterness and creaminess, and the matcha basque cheesecake as creamy, smooth and not too heavy. Close behind is the coffee, where diners describe a dirty made with hot espresso and cold milk, a complex nitro, and hand-poured filter with lychee notes, while an orange layered cake with a hint of yuzu also gets a mention. Several comment on the owner's passion and the care in each order, and the latte art and glassware draw praise. The recurring caveat is space: the room is small, reviewers say seating is limited and it did not feel like somewhere to linger, though the bar-style seats let customers watch drinks being made. One reviewer found the matcha latte not hot enough. Visitors often mention the slices of cake and the view of the roasting equipment, and one calls the cheesecake enjoyable even though they are not a matcha fan.

“I always come to this cafe after I complete my summative exams/when I return to Nottingham for university. At first I felt as if I had accidentally walked into someone’s home because the environment is so relaxed and atmospheric. Kind of like an intruder in a sense, (?) which was intimidating at first but I got used to it because of how good the products are. The quality of the desserts are amazing and fulfilling, not leaving you with a headache from too much sweetness. I usually get the matcha because I know the quality will be the best. Honestly, the best in Nottingham (in my opinion). But the coffee is equally as good, it doesn’t taste acidic or have a bad aftertaste. I enjoy the attentiveness to detail put into each order and it makes the experience even better. I like rewarding myself with a trip here after putting in the work studying etc.”

“They put great care into the drinks and they were delicious! The matcha was incredible and the latte art is great. The inside is small and didn’t feel like a place to hang out for a long time but we had a wonderful morning together and the owner was sweet and thoughtful.”

“They’re doing coffee science in there. The most complex flavored nitro I’ve ever had. Cool glassware. And the slices of cake give it a secret kissaten Japan vibe. Well done. Go support them so that they’re still here if/when I ever find my way back to Nottingham.”
