the pocket

You'll find yourself wedged onto Cathedral Quarter's quieter side, where the pocket sits unassumingly on Upper Church Lane—a narrow strip that locals have quietly claimed as theirs. The place is tiny, which means it fills fast, but the coffee's worth the squeeze: they're genuinely particular about their beans and it shows in every cup. The brunch menu isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, but the sourdough's properly good and the eggs are cooked how you actually ask for them, not how some Instagram aesthetic demands. It's the kind of spot where you'll recognise faces after your second visit.
