I'm lucky to have my best friend living pretty close by and once a week we go out for breakfast or lunch together. There are lots of different places to try and the better ones we go back to. So what makes a good cafe to me? Enough people to give company and life though not so many we have trouble getting a table. Plus an ordinary working person's cafe which isn't too swanky or pretentious. The service needs to be polite and friendly but it always is. Here are some of those we've been to lately.
