Simo's Cafe

Head down to Thorne Road and you'll spot the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. Simo's is packed most mornings with locals grabbing coffee and something cooked properly—the sort of cafe that's been doing the same thing well for years and doesn't feel the need to reinvent itself. You'll find yourself wedged between families, shift workers grabbing breakfast before work, and people who've been coming here so long they probably have their order remembered. It's straightforward, honest food at prices that won't make you wince, and the fact it's pulling nearly 4.7 stars from 218 reviews tells you everything you need to know about how the neighbourhood feels about it.
