Craft Cafe

Head down to the Newtownards Road and you'll find yourself in what feels like a working café rather than a Instagram set. The place is no-nonsense—solid coffee, actual skill behind the machine, and a menu that treats breakfast like it matters. You're looking at proper toast, eggs done right, and the kind of flat white that doesn't apologise for itself. It's the sort of spot where regulars actually chat to staff and you don't feel rushed if you're lingering over a paper.
