Caffè Nero

the espresso here is the thing to start with, pulled short and drunk quickly the way it's meant to be. bury st edmunds moves at its own pace, and cornhill is the kind of spot where that actually works in your favour, somewhere to slow down rather than grab and go. caffè nero sits in the middle of it all, well regarded by the people who actually live and work here, which tends to mean more than any passing opinion. you don't need a complicated order to get the most out of a visit. a flat white or a straight americano, mid-morning, when cornhill is just beginning to fill up, is a pretty honest way to spend half an hour in this town.
