Tatties Cafe

You'll find Tatties wedged between the steady hum of city centre foot traffic and the quieter reaches near the Fitzwilliam Museum—the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. Walk in and you're greeted by straightforward, unpretentious cooking that takes potatoes seriously: whether that's loaded jackets, proper chips, or humble mash done right. The clientele is genuinely mixed—students hunched over laptops, office workers on their lunch break, locals who've been coming for years. It's the sort of cafe where the staff know regulars by name, the coffee's decent, and nobody's trying to be clever about it.
