The Nest Coffee House

About The Nest Coffee House

Sitting on the sunny side of London Road, this is a bright, minimal room with plenty of seating and enough space to get a pram in without a fuss — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options are all sorted, and there are tables outside for sunny days. Coffee is the real draw: smooth flat whites at slightly under the going rate, creamy cappuccinos, and an espresso Freddo worth ordering. The donuts and blueberry croissants get properly rhapsodic praise, though the food menu is short and one or two people have hit a stale one. Drinks and lite bites arrive quickly, which matters when someone's losing patience, and the music stays low enough that you're not shouting. The staff are consistently warm — one visitor calls it "a lovely chilled atmosphere". Toilets can be hit and miss.
