Bugsy's Cafe

a slow weekday morning in shard end doesn't have many obvious candidates for sitting down properly with a coffee, which is exactly what makes bugsy's on heath way worth knowing about. independent spots this far east of the city centre tend to get overlooked by the usual specialty coffee conversation, but the regulars here are quietly loyal in the way that only happens when a place is consistently getting things right. you don't have to go far out of your way if you're already in b34, and if you're not, the detour is short enough to be reasonable. the kind of place that fills a genuine gap rather than a theoretical one. start with a cortado and see how the morning goes from there.
