What recent reviews say

Bits & Bobs draws visitors with distinctive homemade ais kepal and ice cream, praised for flavour and novelty value. Price complaints and polarised views on whether the experience justifies the cost mark this as a destination spot better suited to trying once than returning regularly.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Regulars praise Aud's for sharp coffee, house-made juices, and standout sandwiches (especially the pulled pork), backed by consistently warm service. The rustic setting and metal-straw commitment appeal to eco-conscious diners, though the lack of toilets and compact seating limit the experience for some.

Patisserie Boutique

4.1(550)✓ Google-verified

Patisserie Boutique draws people with its cakes and heritage setting in Old Town, backed by staff kindness that occasionally shines. Service speed is the weak point: half-hour waits for takeaway coffee and cakes, and dishes arriving 40 minutes to an hour later, frustrate busy visitors. Quality swings between excellent breakfasts and forgettable coffee.

Plan B draws crowds for its relaxed atmosphere and attentive service, with praise for design and drinks. Food quality is the weak point: recent guests found mains underseasoned, sauces flavourless, and prices hard to justify against the kitchen's output.
