This well established and comfy coffee spot has enjoyed a revamp, with a shiny new counter and extended menu. In addition to the delicious selection of sarnies, panninis and well-priced breakfast rolls, Fairtrade Cafe has a selection of bagels and pancake treats for a sit-in brekkie. From banana and maple syrup, strawberries and cream to chocolate chip - these big fluffy pancakes make a lovely, lazy breakfast (from £1.75). The cafe area is joined to the deli so you can relax in squashy leather seats, play on the internet or have a good natter while others grab a snack to take away. An easy location for picking up a morning roll (90p) and a coffee on your way to work (or for The Skinny staff's walk of shame after a good night out). The food is excellent value for money whether you want a fry up with the works (£3.95) or a fresh fair trade coffee and croissant, plus it also stocks a good selection of organic and fair trade teas to take home. Overall, this ethical eatery will exceed your expectations, and the good-looking and friendly staff are always a bonus.
