No. 15, Penrith

There is a large blackboard behind the counter which lists "15 reasons to come to 15". I can't immediately think of anything more appropriate, so here they are in full:

1. Lovely people work here
2. Fresh homemade superb soup
3. Locally sourced produce
4. An inspirationally thin cook
5. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere
6. Daily papers to browse
7. Great music
8. FABTASTIC ART
9. Wi-fi internet
10. Homemade bread
11. Yummy cakes and stunning scones
12. Fairtrade drinks
13. Amusing, clever, cultured staff
14. Nice plants
15. Open on Sundays from 10 am.

There is a comfy sofa, newspapers and artwork planted sparingly on the pale walls. There are plenty of food options but it's large enough to sit quietly with a coffee.

Apart from the unoriginal name, it's excellent.
