#1 V & B Coffee & Bakery
the food
What makes it great: V & B Coffee & Bakery is the place Bellfield locals take visitors when they want to show off the neighbourhood. The menu reads simply. The food arrives with more thought than the menu suggests. That gap is the mark of a kitchen that cares more about the plate than the description. There is a reason the regulars do not talk about it much. They do not want the wait.

#1 TY Coffee
the food
What makes it great: TY Coffee opened quietly and got loud fast. What works here works because the kitchen has stopped trying to be clever and started trying to be consistent. TY Coffee does not need a rebrand or a renovation. It needs you to sit down and order.
