"Over Coffee" opposite the Calder...really good, homemade grub. Well worth a try!

I heartily second that.
Great food and amazing coffees, and very friendly service.
Nice they display art by local painters too, which are for sale.

We're thinking having you turned into Mancie Mills.
Where do you want the chimney?

Re: Good cafe in accy ?
Over Coffee, nice but not cheap
Annies (In teh Arcade ) good home cooking, Ace brekkie
Divine (warner street) nice, somewhere between the two above
Lilly Maes ( under Railway viaduct) similar to Over Coffee
Cookies ( arndale) never been impressed.
Ossy Mills - good choice, decent grub, nice cakes.

If you like them mass produced in a factory, and you don't mind paying 400% mark up on them.
The scones are ok, and are made in house.

Re: Good cafe in accy ?
Went to Divine today, in Warner Street.
Happy to say, we thought it was indeed...divine.
Extremely friendy service. They knew we hadn't been before. Which shows they know their customers well, because it could have backfired badly if we had.
Decorated with a colourful and stylish boho-chic style, with displays of ethnic jewellery to look at, and life enhancing, mystical texts on the walls to read, the whole ambience was charming, and wouldn't be out of place in Soho, Brighton's Lanes, or a trendy street in Manchester.
We both had homemade broccoli and Stilton soup, which was delicious, and was served in a very generously sized bowl. We really didn't need it, considering how hearty the soup was, but we also had a ham and cheese sandwich, which was seved with an undressed, crisp and tasty salad. Even the crockery has style, being retro, chintzy thirties.
The owners were very chatty, and when my Ma mentioned we'd been bakers in Ossy for sixty six years, we were given free scones and jam, to sample how good their homebaked cakes are, and they are just that.
Coffee lovers, such as myself, will approve the coffee choice. The latte only came in one size of cup, massive, and was the best I've had for ages.
Weak, early spring sunshine, and a very enjoyable lunch, meant a lovely Tueday.
Cost just over sixteen pounds, and worth every penny.
Will definitely be a regular haunt.
