A Book With No Name

Dark green interiors that are carefully considered and cosy make for a curated rather than limited selection of books. On the shelves, literary, independent and unexpected tomes can all be found – but don’t expect any airport bestseller charts. Events run close to fortnightly: talks, readings, small launches that feel like being let into something rather than sold at. There is also a resident cat, who does not take requests but whose presence is essential.

The drinks are unfussy – coffee, juice, tea, an iced Americano – best enjoyed with a homemade dessert alongside. The Espresso Nutella, when it's on, is the signature move. The menu evolves like the shelves do, so if you’re looking for something specific, maybe confirm the current offering before visiting.
