VIOLA

Viola is the family-run cafe in B93 that feels like a warm hug in the form of brunch. The orange cake is the stuff of dreams, and if you’re lucky, you might even get a friendly chat with the staff who greet you like an old friend. Dog owners, rejoice—this spot is totally pooch-friendly. Locals swear by the fresh breakfast offerings, and you might just find yourself planning your next visit before you’ve even left the table.

On a foggy day, Lesley Clare stumbled upon this little haven and called it a find. With its quaint decor and outdoor seating, it’s a solid place to sip coffee or indulge in a toasted teacake. Just make sure to keep your eyes peeled for their vibrant “pink is our favourite colour” vibe, as David Clarke humorously noted. Overall, Viola serves up a delightful experience that’ll have you saying, “Greggs who?”
