Sugar Junction
A selection of teas, coffees, cheeky alcoholic hot chocolates and some incredible milkshakes, there’ll be something to wet your whistle at the Sugar Junction cafe. With different cakes on offer every day, you’ll get a new photo every time. Or, if you’re a traditionalist like me and love a good cream tea, you can get two scones, cream and jam and a pot of tea for two for under a tenner.

Averaging around £5 per slice, you get a mouthful of OTT and phenomenal cake and you can really up your photo game here. We hope you have a large enough mouth. Somewhere beyond the rainbow, cake will be completely healthy…

Fig + Sparrow
How people take the photos of a bird’s eye view on a coffee we’ll never know, but we can try here at Fig + Sparrow. Serving up a kick-ass cake, amazing, liquid hug coffee, tea and hot chocolate. If you’re missing your dog while away at uni, this cafe is dog-friendly, so we’re sure you can find a friendly pooch to pet.

The Cat Cafe
If sitting in a cafe full of cats and not paying for drinks but paying for the time you spend in there is not enough to get you to visit the Cat Cafe, then the sweet cakes and coffees on offer definitely will. You won’t be able to resist their delicious chocolate fudge Bert cupcakes or any of their cakes and cookies with cat faces on. You’ll have to try your hardest not to give the cats some of it though – who could say no to that face?
