The HairyBarista

The Hairy Barista occupies a narrow shopfront on Totnes high street, pulling shots from a chocolatey Brazilian-Guatemalan blend it rotates with guest espressos from specialist roasters each month. Every dish on the counter is plant-based: soups, toasties, frittatas and superfood lattes made from organic, seasonal ingredients sourced locally where possible. The shop doubles as a community space, hosting live music, cacao ceremonies and sound baths in the evenings once the coffee machine cools. Totnes has long attracted an alternative crowd, and this cafe leans into that rather than away from it, pairing serious bean sourcing with kombucha on tap and medicinal teas alongside the flat whites. It closes early most days and does not open on Sundays, a rhythm that suits its regulars more than passing trade.
