Brunch Spots
We are huge fans of BRUNCH, COFFEE and CAKE. Here are the best spots in the city, in our humble opinion.
15 minutes walk from apartment, located in Cathedral Quarter. This place is super hipster, serves all day brunch with all the poached egg on toast variations you could hope for. Coffee is top notch!
