The Happy Cannabis Social Club

Low-key coffee shop just off the canal, the kind of spot where students and locals overlap without ceremony. It's a small, lived-in place where people drift in to chat, read, or take a breather from biking around town. Mornings are mellow with commuters and cyclists; afternoons pick up with younger faces and easy conversation. The surrounding stretch links the busier shopping streets to quieter residential lanes, so you get a steady mix of passersby. Bikes tend to pile up outside and you can hear buses and canal traffic as background noise. Staff move at their own pace, and regulars get nodded at more than greeted like strangers. It’s the sort of coffee shop for an uncomplicated stop — no frills, just somewhere to sit and watch the city go by. If you need a casual place after a walk along the water, you’ll probably find yourself back here.
