What it’s like
A café by The Piazza doing hot and cold food plus Pipp & Co Doughnuts, with no table bookings so you take your chances on a seat.
This one's a café first and foremost, tucked near The Piazza, serving up hot and cold food alongside doughnuts from Pipp & Co. It's not the sort of place you can ring ahead and reserve a table, so if you're going at a busy time it's a bit of a gamble whether you'll get a seat straight away.
That "busy times" bit matters, because indoor seating gets capped at 45 minutes when things are full. That's fine for a quick coffee and a doughnut, less fine if you were hoping to settle in for a long, leisurely lunch with a pram parked beside you. Turning up just outside the rush is probably your best bet if you want to linger.
Parking is straightforward enough. There are free two-hour spaces around The Piazza itself, though you do have to scan a QR code and log your registration, which is one more thing to remember when you're already juggling bags and a toddler. If that faff isn't for you, there's also free parking on the turning circle nearby that skips the registration step entirely.
