OUR TOP EIGHT CAFÉS
A Luigi’s
Open Monday to Friday, Luigi’s is popular with people who work in the city because it’s close to the train station. It can be noisy, but it’s very friendly and the service is quick. Visit Luigi’s if you want to try their homemade pies and excellent hot drinks.
B Burger Basement
Although it’s in a basement, this brilliant café is bright and exciting. Lights of many different colours hang from the ceiling, and everyone sings along with the pop and rock songs. It’s not a quiet place, but it’s fun. You won’t believe the low cost of the chips and burgers!
C Pancake Paradise
The latest café in town is Pancake Paradise, and everyone is talking about it. This is where all the fashionable people like to be seen, and to see each other. Enjoy the original art on the walls while you wait for your tasty pile of pancakes served with ice cream or honey.
D Sunshine Café
This is a wonderful new café which, so far, is very popular with young people. It’s just a short walk from the college and others a wide choice of soups and sandwiches at very reasonable prices. The best thing about the Sunshine Café is its outdoor seating area. Here you can have some fun in the sun.
E Green Dreams
Everything served in this busy seaside café is vegetarian and all natural. Try the carrot and spinach juice with one of the amazing salads. The prices are high, but definitely worth it. Green Dreams is owned and run by a local family who make everything fresh daily.
F Quick & Cool
As the name suggests, this is where you should come if you want quick food in a cool place. Quick & Cool only opens at the weekends, but it fills up fast so get there early! Enjoy hip hop on the loud speakers and order some spicy chicken wings. You won’t wait long at Quick & Cool!
G Tilly’s Tea-Shop
This is the perfect place to get away from the noise of the city. It’s conveniently located between the museum and the railway station, and serves the best baked goods in town. They play gentle classical music there. You can choose from 20 types of tea and relax.
H Healthy Henry’s
There’s a Healthy Henry’s café in almost every town I know. Our one is located close to the park and it’s always busy. Everything is made from the freshest ingredients available … it’s nice to enjoy food that you know is good for you. The prices are pretty fair, too.
