slow mornings in reading town centre have a particular quality when you're not rushing anywhere, and butter market sits close enough to the oracle and the old market that you can feel the town starting to move around you without being swallowed by it. picnic foods has built a genuinely loyal following on this stretch, the kind where people come back not because it's convenient but because they want to. you'll find it at the top of a short list of places in rg1 that locals treat as a regular rather than an occasional. the coffee programme is taken seriously here, which in a town that has plenty of options but fewer genuinely good ones, matters. worth arriving before the lunch crowd for a cortado and whatever's on the filter that day.
