Sorrel Social

You'll find yourself squeezed onto Tunsgate between the independent shops, stepping into something that feels properly thought-through rather than chain-generic. Sorrel Social isn't trying to be Instagram-famous, but it's become the kind of place where regulars genuinely know each other and the staff remember your order. The coffee is taken seriously—they're not mucking about with beans—and the food goes beyond the usual avocado-on-toast territory, though they do that too if you want it. It's busy for a reason: locals have decided this is their spot, and once you've been, you'll understand why.
