Rockets and Rascals

You'll find Rockets and Rascals tucked on the Parade, where it's somehow managed to become the sort of place that regulars queue for even on drizzly Tuesday mornings. The vibe is genuinely unpretentious—think mismatched furniture, locals on laptops, and the kind of background noise that suggests people are actually enjoying themselves rather than performing for Instagram. The coffee is genuinely good, the kind of thing that makes you realise how many places round here are just going through the motions. Food-wise, they're not messing about with twists on classics; they've just worked out what tastes brilliant and what people actually want to eat.
