What fluffycardie likes about The Alembic Canteen:
It was my first visit here and I loved the room, the high ceiling the elegance, the light! Very good coffee and a delicious cheese scone. Then we were able to go back at lunch time and sample a delectable roast veg and feta cheese pastry with salad. All at very reasonable cost. I will definitely come back regularly. Thank you. The building has been beautifully restored. View all feedback. What Bob A doesn't like about The Alembic Canteen:
We used to visit this café on Saturdays for our coffee fix, hoping to support the business. Unfortunately, they did not reopen after the lockdown, which is a shame. View all feedback.

Great lattes, enormous cakes. Lovely light cafe situated in the old library. Lift access for the infirm as steps from street are VERY steep. Dogs welcome.
