Oat & Bean

You'll find Oat & Bean tucked on Park Place, in that part of the city centre where students and creative types actually hang about. It's the sort of place where they clearly care about their coffee—proper third-wave stuff—but won't make you feel like an idiot if you just want a flat white. The menu leans heavily into plant-based options, which means the oat milk actually tastes decent here rather than like cardboard. Grab a seat by the window and watch Park Place do its thing while you work through a pastry.
