The Rogues Coffee House & Kitchen

Head up Upper Long Leys Road and you'll find yourself in a proper neighbourhood café that's done what so many places claim to do but rarely manage: it's become genuinely indispensable to the people who live nearby. The Rogues has that rare quality of feeling like it's been there forever, even if it hasn't—the kind of place where regulars have their usual orders locked in and the staff remember your name. The coffee's excellent, properly pulled and treated with actual care, and the food side of things takes brunch seriously without being precious about it. It's warm and unpretentious, the sort of spot you'll find yourself returning to again and again, whether you're catching up with a mate or settling in with your laptop.
