Market Square Coffee & Cake

You're standing on Market Hill watching the chaos of market day unfold around you when you duck into Market Square Coffee & Cake and suddenly the world slows down. It's the kind of place where the espresso is taken seriously but no one's pretentious about it, where the cakes actually look like someone's made them that morning rather than three weeks ago in an industrial estate. The crowd's genuinely mixed—tourists rubbing shoulders with college staff, locals doing their mid-morning escape—and somehow it all just works without feeling forced.
