Palmieri's

Head down to Furze Platt and you'll find Palmieri's tucked away doing the kind of café thing that makes you wonder why more places bother with frozen croissants and instant coffee. It's the sort of spot where regulars genuinely outnumber passing trade, and there's a reason for that—they're consistent. The Italian credentials are legit, the espresso pulls clean, and the food sits somewhere between a proper café menu and something with a bit more ambition than your standard high street affair. You'll get proper hospitality rather than service, which makes all the difference when you're after somewhere to actually linger.
