Serendipity, the habit of discovering nice things by accident, is the perfect name for this fully licensed café and patisserie – anyone who happens upon it will be glad they did.

The food, however, is not left to chance; the team make everything in house, taking pride in offering tasty and affordable lunches, cakes and ice creams. This dedication to quality extends to every perfectly made cup of Fairtrade coffee, Belgian hot chocolate and loose-leaf tea. The milkshakes made with homemade gelato (which is available by the scoop) are also a must-try.

Serendipity can happily cater for groups, but is equally welcoming to those popping in for a quick coffee alone.

The tempting supper menu, served on Fridays and Saturdays, is perfect for when you find yourself wanting to stay a little longer.
