There’s a certain storybook charm about Cherry Moon. It’s the lone cafe on a pretty, tree-lined street, with mismatched wooden chairs and a blazing wood-fired oven at its heart. The queue on weekends passes shelves cluttered with house-made condiments, toward a pastry cabinet filled with fairy biscuits and sausage rolls. Order an almond chai with a sourdough brioche cinnamon bun – they’re surely the best in town.

Good to know: Inspired to bake your own sourdough? Starter is for sale in the fridge.
