drinks & bites at 35

middlewich doesn't get a lot of attention from the wider specialty coffee crowd, which is a shame, because wheelock street is quietly doing its own thing. drinks & bites at 35 sits right in the middle of it, and the locals who've found it tend to keep coming back. that kind of repeat loyalty in a small cheshire market town isn't easy to build, and it says something about how consistently this place delivers. if you're passing through on the way to somewhere bigger, it's worth stopping properly rather than grabbing something forgettable from a chain off the a54. the standing this place has built among its regulars points to a cafe that takes the basics seriously. start with the coffee, see where it takes you.
