Carnegie Cafe by Sweet Carolina

Few coffee stops come with a setting quite like this one: the Grade II listed Carnegie Library on Herne Hill Road, at the edge of Ruskin Park. Expect coffee, homemade cakes and lunch alongside artisan groceries such as locally made jams, with plenty of space and wifi if you're settling in to work — plus a play area to keep the kids happy. Dogs are welcome, and step-free access and an accessible toilet make it an easy stop for everyone.
