GILLIANS COFFEE

Gillians Coffee is like that safe bet friend who always picks a decent spot for brunch. The food? Tasty and quick, with prices that won’t make your wallet weep. Seriously, if you’re in the area, it’s a solid English buttie shop that delivers without the drama. I had a veggie option and was pleasantly surprised by the hash browns—crispy and perfect. Plus, the staff here are the kind of friendly that makes you feel like you just walked into your nan's kitchen.

Sure, there are minor gripes about the tin tomatoes and the layout, but overall, it’s a place that understands the assignment. You can pop in for a quick bite and leave feeling satisfied, not like you just spent your savings on a fancy meal. It’s not Michelin-starred, but who needs that when you can have a good old-fashioned breakfast for less? 🍳
