Cafe stop beside The Cross
It feels more civic than commercial: coffee, cakes, toasties, light lunch, friendly service and a calm old-building setting. Use it when you want to sit down properly in the middle of town without making a production of it.
Worth knowing
St Peter's Cafe is quietly one of the most useful stops in the centre: affordable-feeling, calm, genuinely central and not trying to be fashionable. The trade-off is short hours and a church setting that will not suit every coffee mood.
