Henry's Coffee House

You'll find this place right on City Square, which means it catches everyone from office workers grabbing their morning flat white to families taking a breather from shopping. The coffee's consistently good – they know how to pull a proper espresso – and the homemade cakes are the sort that make you linger longer than planned. What sets Henry's apart from the chain competition nearby is that it feels properly local. The staff remember your order, the atmosphere's relaxed without being precious, and you can actually get a decent seat most of the time. It's the kind of place where you can spread out with a laptop or catch up with a mate without feeling rushed. Fair prices too, which matters when you're paying city centre rents.
