Costa Coffee

You know that feeling when you desperately need caffeine between shopping trips or before catching a train, but don't want to deal with incompetent baristas? This Costa in St George's Square sorts you right out. The staff here seem to have mastered the art of making a flat white that doesn't taste like hot milk, and they're quick enough that you won't miss your connection. The seating's better than most high street chains – actual comfortable chairs rather than those plastic torture devices – and the Wi-Fi doesn't cut out every five minutes. It's become the default meeting spot for anyone working in the town centre, which means it gets properly busy around lunchtime. The location makes it dead convenient whether you're coming from the train station or doing the rounds at The Mall.
