Boardwalk Social

You're heading down to Quay Street where the water actually feels close—this is where Boardwalk Social sits, doing exactly what it says on the tin. It's the kind of place locals drift into on weekend mornings when they can't be bothered cooking, where the coffee's solid and the plates arrive generous. The space has that unpretentious vibe where you don't feel watched if you're lingering over a second cappuccino with the papers, but it's lively enough that it never feels empty. Fair prices for what you're getting, and the kind of spot that works just as well for a weekday breakfast before work as it does for a proper weekend catch-up.
