Pocket cafe bar

You're walking down Paradise Street towards the waterfront when you spot the queue outside Pocket—that's your sign you're in the right place. This isn't some Instagram-bait café; it's genuinely packed because people keep coming back. The brunch menu's straightforward but executed well: think smashed avo on sourdough that doesn't cost a fortune, proper full English breakfasts, and coffee that tastes like they actually care. It's the kind of place where locals pop in on Saturday mornings and end up staying longer than planned, chatting to strangers at communal tables or claiming a spot by the window.
