Baby E Coffee & Deli

You're walking down Dale Street towards The Temple and you can smell it before you see it: that brilliant hit of freshly roasted coffee. Baby E sits inside this Grade II-listed Victorian building, which immediately sets it apart from your chain café nonsense. The whole vibe is deliberately unfussy—think stripped-back interiors where the coffee and food do the talking. Their sandwiches are made properly, using good bread and quality fillings, and they're not charging you ridiculous money for it. It's the kind of place where you'll see builders grabbing breakfast alongside office workers, which tells you everything about how unpretentious it is.
