Local's tip

The café is shut Monday to Wednesday, so plan a Thursday to Sunday visit.

The Cherry Pit is a sweet pie and vinyl café at 82 King Street. Its tagline lists three things: pies, music and coffee.

Pies and drinks

The café says it loves sweet pies, to a degree it calls borderline weird, so expect plenty of them alongside other buttery bakes. The setting is described as an American diner inspired space. To drink, there are coffees, shakes and pop. The website has a page for buying pies, and map data lists the café as a coffee, pastry and dessert place.

The records

Part of the room is given over to music racks. The café stocks new and used vinyl records across popular genres, so browsing the shelves is part of a visit. It is a good fit for anyone who would like to combine a slice of pie with a flick through the racks.

Practical notes

King Street runs between Jesus Green and Christ's Pieces, and the café is a short stroll from both, close to the pubs and cafés along the street. According to the website, the opening times are Thursday to Saturday from 10am to 6pm and Sunday from noon to 4pm. The café is closed from Monday to Wednesday. There is a contact page on the website for enquiries.
