Coffee on the square

Coffee, brunch and spritzes at 21a Market Place. Open seven days, from 7:30am on weekdays.

From first coffee to last spritz

Grab a table out on the square or sit inside under the beams. Here's how a day at Novo goes.

MorningFrom 7:30am on weekdays

Espresso pouring from the machine into a small cup

Full-bodied coffee that tastes nothing like the high-street chains, with muffins under the cloche on the counter.

LunchBrunch and paninis

Muffins stacked under a glass cloche

Not your standard bacon bap. Paninis on the counter, with favourites like the Italian and the Toscana, and brunch plates when you want to stay a while.

LaterCocktails and spritzes

As the afternoon slows down, swap the flat white for an espresso martini or an Aperol spritz and watch the square go by.

Protein smoothies

Berry Strong

Banana, blueberries, strawberries, chocolate or vanilla protein, chia seeds.

Power Peanut

Banana, peanut butter, dates, chocolate or vanilla protein, flax seeds.

Add a shot of coffee, an extra protein scoop or matcha to any smoothie.

Inside or out

Inside it's green walls, old beams, exposed brick and plenty of plants. Outside it's the best seat on the Market Place. Either way, it's calm, friendly and quick.
