Presuming Ed's Coffee House

You'll find Presuming Ed's tucked away on London Road, in that stretch where the city actually feels like it belongs to people who live here rather than just visit. It's the sort of place where regulars have their order sorted before they reach the counter, and the staff actually remember your name. The coffee's genuinely good—properly pulled espresso, milk done right, none of that burnt rubbish you get everywhere else. Pair it with whatever's fresh from the kitchen and you're sorted for the morning. It's got that comfortable, no-fuss atmosphere where you can either crack on with work or just sit with a paper and exist for a bit.
