CREAM
31 New Inn YardHip and trendy. Great for a chill morning/afternoon.
Good place to bring a group of picky friends as there are lots of restaurant options, and a central seating area. My favorite is CooksDaily (complete vegan Asian-fusion) or Athenian (Greek). Does get pretty packed on evenings/weekends, so go early to grab a seat.

Shopping
This is the market most of our house plants come from. Open every Sunday (rain or shine) from 8am-(~)3pm. Go early for the flowers, or late for the atmosphere. Lots of great little cafes (StART Coffee, Pavillion Bakery - you MUST try the cinammon rolls), bars (Timber Yard, Campania) and small shops to explore.
