This brand new cafe is just behind us, a huge of amount of money has been spent on the decor. The staff are friendly, the food good and the prices are reasonable. The Belgian waffle balls are particularly yummy. They have an onsite bakery, patisserie & a self-contained coffee roastery. We don't go on weekends as we don't like to queue, it's very popular.

This is an easy walk to this cafe, bakery which is run by a charity to help young people. I particularly like the outdoor area but it is more expensive than other cafes in the area.

I love Stomping Ground, it's basically a huge pub/brewery/cafe. It very cleverly has a children's play area that is quite unique for an inner city venue, but the place is so huge it doesn't matter. Also surprisingly dogs are allowed inside, up the bag near the children's section.
