Casablanca café

You'll find Casablanca tucked away on Uppingham Road, in that stretch where the city feels properly lived-in rather than polished. It's the kind of place where regulars know the staff by name and the coffee isn't some overthought third-wave experiment—it's just genuinely good. The 4.8 rating isn't fluke territory; people keep coming back because it gets the fundamentals right: decent espresso, food that tastes like it's been made with actual thought, and a vibe that's welcoming without trying too hard. This is where you grab breakfast before work, meet a mate for lunch, or kill an afternoon with the papers and a decent cappuccino.
