This spic and span cafe serves up proper tea and grown-up coffee (including cold-brew and other connoisseur interpretations), plus smoothies and a decent selection of sandwiches, wraps, waffles and lunchtime mains such as pasta and fish and chips. It's a pleasant spot to hole up with a book after dark.
