It’s an unique combination, a barber and a coffee shop, but owner Sue Cooper wanted to set up something a little different in her home town when she retired. As a result, 67 Barista Barber is overflowing with personality, from the retro furniture rescued from reclamation
yards to the changing art exhibitions on the walls. Enormous windows framed by the darkest deep blue exterior are perfect for people watching as crowds mill in and out of Hill Road’s trendy boutiques. It’s a great refuelling stop after a walk along the seafront with its Victorian pier and bandstand.
The laid-back atmosphere means ‘queuing was never this easy or enjoyable!’ in the words of one customer, and we’re inclined to agree. Whether or not you’re in the market for a haircut, the coffee is excellent (fair-trade and sourced from Devon roastery, Voyager) and Sue’s homemade cakes widely praised. It’s dinky but delightful and one of the best spots in town.
