The coffee is good, the hot chocolate strong, the sandwiches fair, the soup middling. The cinnamon buns are meant to be delicious, but as I hate cinnamon I didn't try them.

The ambiance, however, is brilliant. The wall are utterly covered in posters advertising gigs (often serving to show you what you've missed), the music is eclectic but relaxed, the customers the eclectic but relaxed and the staff lovely.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22130 Queen of Tarts http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21428 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21428 Hugh Lane Gallery http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12325 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12325 The cafe at the Chester Beattie Gallery http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11781 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11781 Dunne & Crescenzi http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11423 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11423 Bewleys http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10943 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10943 Freedom Cafe http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10039 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10039 Butler's Chocolate Cafe http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8512 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8512 Simon's Place http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4488

Castle Market: La Maison des Gourmets for cakes and Costume for posh frocks. On Drury Street: Jenny Vander for vintage clothes and a few other small fashion shops. More small shops and stalls (food, clothes, secondhand books) in George's Street Arcade, as well as the grubby but charming cafe, Simon's Place. On South William Street, sit outside Ba Mizu on a (rare) sunny day, or try Dakota (sometimes cool, sometimes tries too hard).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4158 Chez Max http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4157 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4157 Cafe Java http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3207 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3207
