Kilimanjaro Coffee

This is the favourite, fantastic full English breakfast with what is an incredible lack of grease.  I know that sounds kind of terrible, but it's really good.  Plus we all loved the coffee here.

Peter's Yard
Scandinavian, but with pizza. Sounds bizarre, but it works.  Baked goods, soups and other yummy stuff.  Not sure what the coffee was like as I didn't have one, but its' definitely worth checking our for the food.
