The Best Cafés Near You

Nothing can beat a perfect cup of coffee... unless it's a perfect cup of tea! Whichever hot drink you prefer, getting out of the house for a chat and a cuppa is a blessing.

Here you'll find a list of some of the best cafés, coffee shops, and tea houses from across the UK. From bohemian coffee places to posh tea houses, whatever your vibe, you're sure to find a new favourite haunt.

Even better, most of the options here are family friendly, with plenty to do other than supplying yourself with a much needed caffine boost. You might be suprised at the sort of fun places that have a cosy café hiding away in them.

So pull up a chair, order yourself a tasty muffin, and gather your besties, because it's time for a tea break!
