Volve hotel (see above) recently rebranded their coffee shop and now have a full food menu. There’s various light lunch and brunch options. The food is just ok, so I’d stick to coffee, they have French press and drip coffee, and it’s still a good place to chill out and work.

Modern Indian cuisine featuring all day breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes. Everything is creatively presented with fresh ingredients. I recommend the "naan of the above" (amongst a series of naan related puns) which has spicy pulled duck on a naan base.
