Cisco’s Cafe

The first rule of Cisco’s is: You do not talk about Cisco’s.
I’ve never heard another student say that they’re going to Cisco’s for lunch. Come to think of it, in my four years in the city, I’ve not heard a peep about Cisco’s. So, really, what’s waiting down Port Street is a bit of a hidden gem. So much so that it feels odd to share the secret (as Scott D said!) since Cisco’s is just the sort of place you want to stumble upon yourself. Whilst it isn’t particularly hard to find or tucked away, I’d managed to pass by so many times before discovering it on Unilocal quite some time ago.
So up till now, Cisco’s had been no more than an overdue bookmark on my Unilocal list. But today, I finally visited for lunch. There’s a kitsch bike outside with the signature Cisco’s sign which is a nice decorative touch. Whilst it’s on the small and cosey side, we managed to get seats straight away as it wasn’t too busy. Despite this, there was still a bustling, thriving vibe with a steady stream of customers popping in for lunch to-​go and the staff working away and chatting with hungry mid-​day lunchers. I loved the upbeat yet relaxed feel and the staff were so friendly and chirpy!
Looking at the chalkboards dotted around, there was lots to choose from. (The first thing I noticed were the cakes, I just can’t wait to go back to try them and hopefully give them my beloved five stars! The carrot cake looked delicious!) I had a chai latte and a roasted vegetable and mozzarella toastie. The latte was frothy perfection and the toastie was delicious, fresh and came with a sprinkling of crisps. At just under £7, it’s reasonably good value and definitely somewhere I’d love to be spending my time.
So now you know.
Do with this information what you will.
PS. You should really pop in.
PPS. Save me a slice of carrot cake.

Should I post a review and hugely recommend this café or keep it a secret. Hmmmm.______No some things are better kept quiet.
