Cliffs

You'll find yourself on Northdown Road nursing a flat white that's actually worth the money, watching the parade of locals and holidaymakers drift past the windows. Cliffs has that rare quality of feeling effortlessly good at what it does—the kind of place where the barista remembers your order and the sourdough toast arrives golden and properly buttered. It's packed on weekends with families and couples, but never feels rammed; there's a genuine warmth to the room that comes from doing one thing well rather than chasing trends.
