Fore Street is my go-to place for breakfast and brunch. They offer a fantastic selection of breakfast options including miso mushrooms on toast, pancakes, the 'Healthy', the 'Dirty' (a hugely popular choice that includes chips and coleslaw - go hungry!), granola bowls and toasties. They also offer tea, coffee and smoothies plus a brilliant selection of alternative lattes such as matcha, beetroot, turmeric and charcoal.
