What the creator captured
Harrison Webb compared the historic Regency Cafe with the Michelin-starred Hide, noting that the cafe felt more authentic now that it was filled with locals rather than tourists. While he appreciated the heritage of the cheaper spot, he was underwhelmed by a £42 espresso at Hide, advising viewers to stick to regular coffee instead. His most memorable takeaway was that the quality of the traditional cafe breakfast remained consistent despite a change in management.
