The Bell Jar
Cafe
A pared-back interior with white walls and concrete floors gives no indication that the Bell Jar is a food and coffee mecca. But coffee lovers seek out this friendly cafe in Smith Street's quiet northern reaches for the 5 Senses house blend - carefully extracted and rich with chocolate and woody notes - and the single origin, filter and French press offers. The good vibes extend to the menu - think crisp corn cakes with bacon, chilli and herby creme fraiche or the excellent ricotta hotcakes with poached fruit and mascarpone, a regular on the specials board.
