Kernel Canteen

Market Square's always been a bit of a magnet, but Kernel Canteen is the reason you'll actually want to sit down here. You're looking at proper third-wave coffee—the kind where they care about bean origins and extraction times—paired with brunch that goes beyond the standard smashed avo situation. The space itself feels unpretentious despite clearly knowing what it's doing; it's the sort of place where you'll see regulars camping out with laptops alongside tourists who've wandered in by accident and immediately decided to stay. The team clearly give a toss about what they're serving, which honestly sets it apart in a city that's got no shortage of decent cafés.
