Juliets

You'll find yourself on the pedestrianised stretch of the High Street where it actually gets interesting—past the chains, where Juliets sits with the kind of casual confidence that comes from doing one thing well for years. The vibe is unhurried and genuinely local; you're as likely to see someone working on a laptop for three hours as you are a group catching up over eggs and toast. The coffee's the real draw—they clearly know what they're doing with an espresso machine—and the brunch menu doesn't overcomplicate things. It's the sort of place where regulars nod at each other, and newcomers immediately understand why people keep coming back.
