Boston Tea Party

You'll find yourself on Herbert Road heading towards the town centre, and Boston Tea Party sits in The Coach House with the kind of low-key charm that makes locals protective of their spots. The place has that proper independent café energy—exposed brick, mismatched furniture, and a counter where the staff actually know what they're doing with a portafilter. Come for the ethically sourced coffee (they roast their own), stay because the sourdough toast and shakshuka are genuinely excellent. It's the sort of place where you'll see people working on laptops alongside groups catching up, and somehow it never feels cramped or precious about it.
