Tesco Cafe

Look, you're not coming here for Instagram moments or artisanal sourdough. You're popping into Tesco on Alemouth Road, and you fancy a coffee that doesn't taste like it's been sitting under a heat lamp since breakfast. The café does exactly what it says on the tin: reliable hot drinks, straightforward food, and seating that's comfortable enough whilst you work through your shopping list or catch up with someone. It's the kind of place where you see the same faces regularly—proper locals who know the score. Prices won't break the bank either, which matters when you're already spending a fortune on groceries. Fair warning though: it's functional rather than fancy, and that's precisely the point.
