The Cloakroom Cafe

Head down Woodland Road and you'll find The Cloakroom Cafe tucked away where it actually belongs—casual, unfussy, and doing exactly what it says on the tin. This is the kind of place where locals actually linger over their flat whites rather than Instagram them, where the vibe feels genuinely neighbourly instead of manufactured. The sort of café that works equally well for a solo coffee and a read, or catching up with mates over something proper to eat. Clifton's got no shortage of polished brunches these days, but The Cloakroom keeps things refreshingly real.
