Pies are a reliable test, since the pastry should hold its shape and the filling should be hot. Outdoor seating is a real advantage on a fine day, especially near a pond or park. Visitors with dietary needs often do best by asking staff how a dish is made before ordering. When you choose a cafe, look for fresh baking, clean tables and easy parking nearby.
