No prizes for guessing that this is where you need to go for a delicious brunch as well as an artisan coffee. Spinningfields, with its mix of offices, shops and eateries, is a superb choice for indulging in a late breakfast or early lunch, and Bruncho is the place to do it. The Freddo Matcha Drago is a taste sensation, and the pizza breakfast must be eaten to be believed. We implore you to spend an afternoon here.
