Whatever the weather and whatever your mood, The Perc is bound to satisfy – whether it’s a hot day and you’re after an iced latte, or it’s miserably cold (let’s be honest, probably more likely) and you’re on the hunt for a big bowl of soup to warm your spirits.

Carefully crafted Allpress coffee is on offer as well as a variety of juices, milkshakes and smoothies. With a wide range of gluten-free items, an extensive breakfast and brunch menu, and sandwiches and salads made fresh daily, you’ll soon find something for everyone at this cosy café, located just next to the Octagon.

The Perc is most famous for its sweet treats – the enormously tempting array is on display at the counter and include the likes of cinnamon scrolls (you'd best be early for those!), cakes, muffins and pastries.

If you’re a surfer looking to catch some wifi, the café has free internet available, so you can park up at one of the shared tables and maybe even make a new friend. If you're there for leisure, curl up with your cuppa in front of the large windows and watch the world go by.
