Tobacco Factory Cafe Bar

You're walking into Raleigh Street's best-kept secret—a sprawling converted tobacco factory that's become the neighbourhood's creative heart. The Tobacco Factory isn't just slinging decent coffee and lunch plates; it's a proper working arts space with a theatre upstairs, so you might catch yourself surrounded by actors, artists and locals debating the state of things over a pint. The cafe bar does unfussy, seasonal food at reasonable prices (mains around £12-16), and the vibe shifts naturally from quiet morning workspace to lively evening gather depending on what's on.
