Caffè Nero

You know the score with Nero by now—consistent coffee, reliable pastries, decent enough to become part of your routine. The Chapel Allerton location sits nicely on Stainbeck Lane, making it an easy pit stop whether you're coming from the village high street or heading towards the Stray. It's the kind of place where regulars nod at each other over their morning cappuccinos, and nobody's pretending the sourdough is artisanal. Fair-priced, straightforward, and does what it says on the tin.
