Cello Coffee

This spot offers a genuinely appealing range of Mediterranean breakfast and brunch options, with dishes like hummus, labneh, and fattoush sitting comfortably alongside more familiar European staples such as omelettes and even a full English. It’s a broad, crowd-pleasing menu that manages to feel both varied and accessible.

On the “health-focused” side, there’s a clear attempt to cater to modern tastes, with dedicated sections for bowls and smoothie bowls. In practice, it’s a bit more style than substance. The smoothie bowl, for example, arrived noticeably freezing cold, suggesting a reliance on frozen ingredients. That’s fairly common, but it does hint at cost efficiency taking precedence over freshness. Presentation, however, is strong. The use of a varnished coconut shell as a bowl is a thoughtful touch and adds a bit of visual charm.

As a place to sit and work, it holds up reasonably well. The music sits firmly in the background, unobtrusive but unremarkable, while the kitchen can generate a fair amount of noise at times. Seating is comfortable, and the tables are generously sized, with enough room for a laptop and phone, and even workable for two people sharing the space. The main limitation is capacity. With only around seven tables, it can be difficult to find a spot during busier periods.

There’s a relaxed attitude during quieter times, and it’s possible to stay for longer stretches without feeling rushed. A few charging ports are available, though not in abundance, and the lack of Wi-Fi may be a drawback depending on your needs.

Overall, it’s a strong option for food with a solid, if slightly surface-level, nod to health trends, and a decent choice for light work provided you time your visit well.
