Brunel's Buttery

You'll find yourself on Museum Street in the shadow of the university quarter, where Brunel's Buttery operates with the kind of quiet confidence that comes from knowing exactly what it does well. It's the sort of place where regulars nod at each other over their mugs, the walls probably decorated with student work, and the pastry cabinet tells you everything about whether you're having a good day or not. Walk in expecting excellent coffee, proper buttery things, and the kind of service that doesn't fuss around with Instagram presentations—just food that tastes good and caffeine that actually wakes you up.
