Costa Coffee

You know that spot where you duck in when the weather turns, armed with your laptop and a desperate need for caffeine? Right in the heart of Murraygate's shopping strip, this Costa delivers exactly what you'd expect – nothing revolutionary, but solid enough when you need it. The location is its real strength; prime real estate for watching the city centre bustle while nursing a flat white. The usual Costa suspects are all present: decent coffee that won't offend, pastries that do the job, and WiFi that actually works when you're trying to get things done. It's not going to change your life, but when you're shopping in town or meeting someone central, it's reliably there. The staff keep things moving during the lunch rush, and there's enough seating upstairs if downstairs gets rammed with Overgate shoppers seeking refuge.
