The Potting Shed

At the northern end of Rouse Street, this boutique folds an antiques and homewares shop into a small cafe under one roof: bespoke furnishings, collected pieces, clothing and gifts arranged around tables serving coffee and a rustic kitchen that changes its theme through the year. Open daily from early, it is pet-friendly to the point of keeping a dedicated dog menu, and works as gallery and pottery space as much as retailer. The mix rewards a slow wander, part secondhand and antique browse, part garden shop, part morning stop. In a town whose main street trades heavily on antiques and old wares, it stands out for gathering the hunt and the coffee into a single, unhurried visit.
