Step into Lisette’s Café & Bakery for light bites, hearty mains, and a tempting selection of pastries, cookies, and cakes. The relaxed atmosphere and charming patio make it a popular spot, though reviews seem to paint a mixed picture. While the extensive menu promises variety, some have found the flavours lacking. If you’re particular about seasoning, you might need to grab that salt shaker or chili flakes. Still, with its welcoming vibe, it’s a café that’s worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Coffee enthusiasts, take note—PULP is a must-visit for that perfect brew. Their signature Papa’s Breakfast is a healthy delight, and the shakshuka paired with soft bread is comfort food at its best. While the prices might lean toward the higher end, the quality of the coffee and food makes it worthwhile. Bonus: You can even take home some of their fragrant beans.

Antipodean is perfect for those who love variety—it’s hard not to spend ages deciding with their menu written across the wall! Their quinoa salad is a refreshing burst of colours and flavours, while the scrambled eggs with asparagus and bacon are a comforting classic. However, the kitchen’s oily aroma might not be ideal for extended hangouts. Still, it’s a great spot for a quick, delicious meal.
