Oak St Cafe Bar

“…Oak St. Café’s a winner….an utterly moreish selection of cakes is baked fresh on site.  Crucially, the tea is loose leaf, the coffee is damn fine, and it’s a nice spot for a break, tucked away beneath the eclectic wares of the city’s artist-makers.”  Creativetourist.com For more information check out: Oak St Café Bar
