Cafe De Lisboa Coffee Shop

You'll find yourself on the Parade, that busy stretch of the High Street where most places are forgettable chains, and then you spot Cafe De Lisboa. It's a proper breath of fresh air—all warm wood tones and that unmistakable aroma of quality Portuguese coffee hitting you as you walk in. The espresso here isn't messed about with; it's pulled properly, bold and smooth, and the pastéis de nata are the real deal, flaky and caramelised the way they should be. It's become a proper local favourite, not because it's trying too hard, but because they're genuinely good at what they do. The sort of place where you can actually have a decent conversation without shouting over indie music.
