Benets Cafe

You're standing on King's Parade, probably having just dodged a tour group outside King's College, and Benets is right there—all plate-glass windows and stripped-back café vibes. It's the sort of place where locals actually sit down with their laptops and a flat white, not just grab and go. The food's straightforward: breakfasts that hit the mark, lunches that don't pretend to be anything they're not. Fair warning—it gets rammed during tourist season, but if you time it right (mid-morning on a Tuesday, say), you'll get why people keep coming back. Nothing revolutionary, just consistently decent.
