Project X
Young folk in Buxton thank their lucky stars for this sultry cafe and bar at the back of the baths complex. Moroccan tables, hanging lanterns and deep violet walls create a casbah vibe. By day, people sip lattes and munch on paninis (snacks £5 to £10); after dark, drinkers move on to beers and cocktails.
