I don't find the atmosphere as nice as Bridgehead, but this coffee shop is often a little less busy, and has better food if you're thinking of having a bite of lunch too. Free wifi.

A small hip bar, with good food (both breakfasts and dinners), and a good spot for drinks and entertainment some nights. It's in a basement though so preferable on gloomy days or evenings.
