Tideswell Lounge

You'll find Tideswell Lounge tucked into Bank Square, occupying what used to be an actual bank—there's something rather lovely about sipping espresso where people once worried about their mortgages. The space has been transformed into something genuinely charming: exposed stone walls, high ceilings that suggest the building's heritage, and enough personality to feel like a proper community hub rather than a chain. The coffee is taken seriously here, and the cakes rotate seasonally, which means you've actually got a reason to keep coming back instead of just ordering the same lemon drizzle.
