The focaccia sandwich has its own following, which tells you something. The flat white holds up every visit.

Solid coffee in a North Laine cafe where the focaccia competes for the compliments.

What we love

  • Flat whites specifically praised by regulars, not just tolerated alongside the food
  • Focaccia sandwiches worth ordering, a proper reason to sit down
  • Independent room in North Laine's artsy stretch, unpretentious and consistent
  • Repeat-visit cafe: coffee earns it, food closes the case
