The Tea Cosy Cafe

Cafe$

A nostalgic nod to owner Ash Kinchin’s Irish nana, complete with scones, floral china and crocheted cosies inside an 1870s heritage building. Loose-leaf teas range from Irish breakfast to creme brulee, prosecco and fancy coffees add variety, and, best of all, there are buttery-soft scones house-baked throughout the day.

Must order: Tea, currant scones and triple-berry jam.
