CAFÉS

Honestly, you don’t need to go to Italy or France for café culture; it’s right here in Winchester. There’s a range of cafés for you to meet with friends or just have some time to yourself. The Square is the best place to start your café adventure in Winchester, with Autumn House, Honey + Harvey, The General Store, Café Monde and the Orangery all spilling out onto the streets here.

Behind the Square, Academy on Little Minster Street offers specialty coffees from around the world and is the spot for anyone serious about coffee. If you fancy a bit of cake with your drink, then Frieda’s Tearoom is a must-visit. For something more substantial, Josie’s is a perennial favourite amongst locals and has the most extensive brunch menu in the city. If you want a bit of nature with your coffee, head out to the Handlebar Café on the edge of the city.

You know, we’ve only covered the tip of the iceberg here. We’ll leave it to you to find the other great spots around the city.
