1. Coffee Tea and Me

Bakery, Tea

Squeeze into this tiny former barber shop for a no-frills menu and a serious caffeine hit. Coffee Tea & Me boasts a selection of bagels, alongside popular T2 Tea. Linger underneath the street art while you wait, and enjoy your bagel at the outside dining tables.

With its white and blue dining room, Stix and Pita might just fool you into thinking you’ve been transported to Greece as you stroll through its doors.
