Named as a place to work from by 2 independent sources.

  • Beautiful with garden patio seating and an entire upstairs with a working fireplace. The food is just OK but it is one of the coziest little nooks to do some deep focus work.

  • Doors open at 7 at this all-day cafe, where you can post up on the ivy-ensconsed outdoor patio in the morning with coffee and bagels ... Note that wifi is cut off in the evenings for dinner.
