You'll find yourself coming back to this Uplands Crescent spot more often than you planned. The kind of place where you pop in for a morning flat white and somehow end up staying for a pint and pizza later. The interior strikes that tricky balance between polished and lived-in – exposed brick, industrial touches, but still somewhere your mum would be happy meeting you for lunch. The menu covers all bases without trying to be everything to everyone. Breakfast runs until properly late, the pizza is better than it needs to be, and they've got a decent selection of local brews alongside the usual suspects. It's become the default 'where shall we meet?' answer for half of Uplands, which tells you everything. Open until 1am Friday and Saturday means it transitions seamlessly from daytime café to evening hangout.
