If you've been in to visit us recently you'll have seen our fridge has been stocked with lots of exciting soft drinks, in an array of different flavours

Sparkling botanicals with grapefruit and basil or a sparkling mango and passionfruit, all with no artificial sugars & sweeteners!

& if you haven’t been in for a while, here’s your invitation 😉

Which one will you choose?

Have you tried…

Our raspberry & nut brownie?!

It has been a popular one so make sure you come in soon if you want to give it a try.

And we can pretend it’s slightly healthier because it has nuts on it 😉

Open Tuesday-Saturday 9am - 3pm

Want to enjoy our coffee at home?

We’ve got you covered with our sustainably sourced, small & large bags of coffee beans for sale.

A Brazilian coffee bean - smooth and rich with a creamy, nutty and sweet aftertaste.

Why we love Ethical Addictions…

☕️ It’s farm direct coffee from a family who have been growing for 4 generations, starting more than 140 years ago!

☕️ 25% of the family farm land is not farmed and instead designated for permanent preservation of rainforest and the precious species that reside there.

☕️ Over 5000 native trees have been planted to avoid soil erosion and increase sub-soil moisture (this helps protect water sources and increases the amount of wildlife)

Small £5.50
Large £25

Have you checked out our little library of books?

We purposely have created a quieter chill-out area in the cafe if you'd like to come in and enjoy a book with your coffee.

If you're sober curious or in recovery there are several books that will be of inspiration and a good bit of fiction if that's more your thing!

FLAT WHITE

A larger espresso shot, topped with steamed milk and a tiny layer of milk foam.

A flat white is stronger than a cappuccino or latte and is a lot creamier as there's less foam.

Who We Are

Here at The Sober Parrot we pride ourselves on producing simple yet delicious lunch & brunch dishes using local ingredients where possible. Our eggs are from Cooper’s Hill Farm, our bread is from Hobbs’ House Bakery in Stroud & our meat is from Lane’s The Butcher on Bath Road. We have selected these suppliers not purely for location but because we believe their produce is the best! Thank you for choosing The Sober Parrot and in doing so supporting The Nelson Trust
We are a not-for-profit, charity run café by day and an alcohol-free events space by night.
We are owned and operated by The Nelson Trust working with people
who are affected by addiction and those who have experienced multiple disadvantages.
We offer volunteer opportunities for many within the community who will then gain
skills and qualifications to help them towards gaining employment.

So when you enjoy a good meal or pop in to buy a coffee at The Sober Parrot,
you are also supporting individuals overcoming addictions and trauma.
