Why I love it
Tucked into the Royal Exchange arcade at the Cross Street end, this tiny independent has been pulling some of the city centre's best espresso since 2017. Organically grown, ethically sourced beans, a chiller of fresh sandwiches and soup, and the kind of welcome that makes a six-seat café feel like a front room.
Run by Thanasis Michael.
