Cafe Pastel

You'll spot Cafe Pastel immediately—it's the one with the soft pink and cream facade that makes Abbey Green look even prettier than usual. Inside, it's all gentle colour palettes and considered design, but nothing precious about it. The crowd's a proper mix: locals catching up over flat whites, tourists who've stumbled onto something good, and the occasional laptop worker who's definitely not leaving. The coffee's genuinely well-made (they actually care about their beans), and the brunch menu hits that sweet spot between simple and considered. It's the kind of place where you feel looked after without anyone fussing.
