The holiday period is upon us and I am already thinking about where I am going to source my precious cup of liquid gold (that’s coffee for those playing at home!). To help my fellow caffeine addicts and foodies, here’s the Christmas holiday opening hours of some of the most popular family-friendly cafes in the area (listed alphabetically). You’re welcome!
And the great news is that at least 3 are open on Christmas Day and about half are open between Christmas and New Years Day.
