No. 5

No5’s in a great spot overlooking Abercromby Square, in the heart of the campus. It is definitely my favourite café when I’m up at uni. No 5 has a really nice atmosphere, it’s a lot calmer than some of the other cafes around (basically the student guild or the university cafes themselves which are quite dowdy and basic). 05 tends to attract the mature students and tutors, I’m not sure why exactly, it’s not any more expensive than the student populated cafes, perhaps the size of the place limits groups; it is quite small, but seats around seven or 8 tables. There is a bistro upstairs which is open from 12 – 2 and serves hot plated food. I have not visited the bistro, only the café. The service in here is very good, the staff are always really welcoming.
