The cafe is busy and popular almost all day, with few other chain rivals besides Costa next door. We usually just look to see which is less busy before jumping since they are mostly comparable price and quality wise in my opinion. The drinks were good, the food selection limited to a few pastries and not much else. I did notice more food behind us, sandwiches and such, but for the coffee and cake fans, the cake is lacking. The atmosphere is nice, though more effort could be put into cleaning and turning over tables since it can get a little grubby as the days goes on, but that's not surprising for a popular cafe. Overall though, a great cafe for a quick coffee catch up with friends!

The Rotunda is a small round (hence the name!) cafe situated in Preston Park. In the age-old…read moretradition of park cafes, the Rotunda serves tea and coffee, cakes, ice-cream in the summer and not much more! Perhaps the odd sandwich too, but don't expect a great selection if you're looking for food at lunchtime. I would head to one of the nearby pubs instead. In the summer, the outside seating is really lovely, and the surrounding rose garden provides a pretty view. The location means that the Rotunda is heavily frequented by mothers with small children as well as elderly people. It's not the most exciting of cafes, but it does exactly what it should. I've found it a particularly handy place to get an ice-cream or a cold drink whilst sunbathing on a hot summer's day.

The park was originally owned by a rich lord of Preston Manor so all the buildings on the land used to be part his estate. The historic value of the building can easily be seen. The park alone is a perfect haven in the middle of the busy city and has many facilities on offer including tennis courts, children play areas and a running track. So the cafe is great place to grab a bite before or after a work out, or even just a stop off during a leisurely stroll.

This unassuming little coffee bar at the less salubrious end of Portland Road (is there a more…read moresalubrious end?!) is one of my favourite places to wile away a couple of hours with a hot drink and a good book. Probably off most people's radar due to its less than central location, it's a true hidden gem. What makes its so special you ask? - well, the staff for one. The girls that greet us treat us like old friends every time we come here, and we have a good old gossip as if in deed we were. We are never made to feel like we are wasting space if our drinks have long since been finished and we haven't ordered another. The seating is comfy and well spaced out, and the decor is eclectic - old record sleeves adorn the walls, there is a wooded rocking horse that greets you as you walk through the door and there is numerous other memorabilia from around the world. The music too is fascinating, being worldly, soulful, and most importantly being played at a volume that does not prevent you reading or talking. This coffee house seems to appeal to a wide range of people from grubby workman, to older couples, to yummy mummy's - the children's room at the back scattered with toys is a great place to bring the little ones. The drinks here are also great - my boyfriend swears by the new gold blend coffee, praise indeed from a Brazilian! And I'm slowly working my way through the different flavours of chai latte, my current favourite being the spiced. They do a good range of sandwiches, paninis and bagels here as a very decent price, as well as homemade cakes, biscuits and other treats. Go on, venture down this end of town and give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Its a family run business and the the owners are friendly and always happy to chat. It's a great place to sit and read the papers with a coffee or hot chocolate and watch the world go by. They have a good selection of home made cakes, fresh food, and they are fully licensed if you fancy a slightly stronger tipple. Wednesdays is student night, Thursdays is over 30's night and they have a number of events planned for the up and coming future, including wine tasting, a psychic night and speed dating. An eclectic venue for an eclectic town!

They do a cracking jacket spud, always well done with a nice crispy skin, and a lovely Greek salad to have on the side or as a main. The staff are always friendly and smiley, and although they get pretty busy the service is mega quick. A lovely lil no frills cafe perfect for a quick bite when bumbling about town.

As many locals may or may not know, Presuming Ed's is the sister coffeehouse to the ever popular Marwood's, purveyors of kick ass coffee and life changing cake. Situated on London Road, it has opened just as The area is going through a bit of regeneration, with new pubs, bars, the new Open Market and new halls of residence opening over the past year. The decor is true to the Marwood's style, with quirky mismatched furniture and crazy art adoring the walls. Hipster's paradise! Although there is a wide range of people here right now :) I opted for my usual soya flat white and had a slice of blueberry and white chocolate cake. It's not often that cake renders me speechless but WOW. I feel like grabbing the whole cake off the counter and running off! I won't though... I'm far too lazy and not at all subtle. Long story short - you need to try this place!
