Sweet Affaire

slow afternoon in oldbrook, and you've got a couple of hours to fill before the drive back across milton keynes. sweet affaire on duckworth court is the kind of place that absorbs that time without making a thing of it. it sits in a part of mk6 that most people pass through rather than stop in, which means the people who do stop tend to actually want to be there. the regulars here are loyal in a way that takes time to build, and that reputation didn't arrive overnight. nothing flashy about the location, no footfall from a high street doing the work for them. just a good independent, holding its own. if you're deciding when to go, the cortado is always a solid reason to make it a morning.
