The Tempest Caffè

You'll find The Tempest Caffè quietly doing its thing in Bell Court, away from the tourist crush of Bridge Street but close enough that locals actually know where it is. This is where you come for a genuinely good cappuccino—the kind that arrives with proper microfoam, not the milky nonsense you get elsewhere—and pastries that look like they've come straight from somewhere that understands Italian baking. The space has that unhurried continental feel without being precious about it; you can sit with your cortado for as long as you like, and nobody's rushing you out.
