Blend 71

You'll find Blend 71 tucked away on Lemon Street, where the café culture actually feels lived-in rather than performative. It's the kind of place where regulars drift in mid-morning, order without thinking, and settle in with their laptops or papers. The coffee's clearly taken seriously—not in a pretentious way, just competent and honest—and the brunch menu doesn't overthink things. The space has warmth to it, genuinely friendly service, and none of that trying-too-hard energy you sometimes get in city-centre spots. Worth seeking out if you're after somewhere that actually cares about what it's doing.
