Clairmont's

Walking past the castle towards the town centre, Clairmont's sits right on High Street where it's become the sort of place you bump into the same faces every morning. The café has that unpretentious confidence of somewhere that doesn't need to shout about itself—excellent espresso-based drinks, the kind of pastries that justify a second visit, and enough seating that you can actually work or read without feeling rushed. It's the café equivalent of a good local pub: consistently reliable, genuinely welcoming, and genuinely busy because people actually want to be there.
