Last weekend I stumbled upon a series of little cafés tucked away in side streets that most tourists never see. Each place had its own personality, from vintage décor to live acoustic sessions. I’ve compiled a guide with photos, addresses, and what makes each spot special.

1. The Velvet Bean – A tiny espresso bar with velvet chairs and a secret bookshelf door. Their cold brew is a must‑try.

2. Lantern Lane – A rooftop garden café offering sunset views and handcrafted teas.

3. Echo Alley – An art‑filled space where local musicians perform weekly. Grab a seat on the painted floor.
