This cafe is located at Aspex gallery in a stunning industrial building. Lunch was delicious, the homemade pea and bacon soup had a rich and deep of flavour and was accompanied by some fab sourdough bread. Just next to Gunwharf Quays, it’s a nice change to the chain places in the shopping centre. Highly recommended!
