I spotted this one after I had been to Mark Toney's and had added it to the hit list. Today was the day! I briefly toyed with the idea of Coffee Bean in Old Eldon Square, but that it shelved for another time.
So, TJs - wooden floors, tables, the ubiquitous sofas if you must, books to read, music that is just a little different. It feels homely, slightly reminiscent of upstairs at the Boston Tea Party in Exeter, for those who have been. I chose a danish pastry and tea (£2 offer) having been kindly warned that the muffins might be a bit stale. The breakfasts looked good too but I couldn't justify.
I had the place to myself - seems like the times of day that I am out coffee-shopping the rest of the world is doing other things. Then a friend came and joined me for a second cup. It's one to recommend, handy for town, not corporate. You feel your money is going to real people not shareholders.
