Caffè Vista

You'll find Caffè Vista tucked away on Crackwell Street, away from the seafront bustle but somehow always busy. It's the kind of café where the espresso arrives in proper tiny cups, where they don't apologise for not doing flavoured syrups, and where the pastries actually taste like something real. The room itself is compact and no-nonsense—you're here for the coffee and the company, not Instagram angles. Come mid-morning and you'll see the mix: builders in work boots, retirees with newspapers, school kids grabbing something before lessons. The staff know what they're doing and move fast without being rushed.
