O’ffee

if you've got a laptop, a loose morning, and no particular urgency, temple row is a reasonable place to let the hours go. o'ffee sits at number 6, close enough to the civic centre and the cathedral that the foot traffic outside is constant, but that's outside. regulars here don't seem to be passing through, they're staying, and the kind of place that keeps people coming back on a friday afternoon as readily as a tuesday at nine says something about the consistency of what's being done. you're not going to feel rushed. the coffee pulls focus without any ceremony around it, which is honestly how it should be. get there before the mid-morning crowd thickens, order a cortado, and settle in.
