Chai Latte

You'll find yourself on Stevenson Square, that buzzy corner of the Northern Quarter where independent spots cluster together like they actually mean it. Chai Latte pulls off something genuinely tricky: it's somewhere locals queue for without it feeling precious or Instagram-obsessed. The chai is properly spiced—not that syrupy stuff—and they know their way around an espresso. It's the kind of place where you'll see students working on laptops next to builders grabbing a quick coffee, and nobody's pretending to be anyone else.
