📖

Full description

Cowan and Sons is a busy daytime cafe open from 9:00 to 17:00, popular enough that a short wait is common. Reviewers mention cinnamon buns, morning rolls, frittata, sandwiches, coffee and lemonade, with vegetarian choices on the menu.

Seating is described as ample for the location, and high chairs are available for babies, which makes it workable for families as well as solo visitors and couples. A takeaway counter offers a fallback when tables are full, and prices stay on the affordable side.

Reviews

So popular there can sometimes be a wait, but it is worth it! They have both sit-in and takeaway options so no matter if there are no seats free. They also have plently on tje menu, including vegetarian and vegan options (i highly recommend the vegan breakfast bun). And the best on offer has to be the NGCI raspberry…
