Café - £
A small café serving various hot drinks and baked edibles. There is seating for six indoors (a table of four and a table of two), with four more seats outside (two tables of two). The tables and chairs can all be moved.
Their specialty is their selection of jams which go very well with cream and scones.
The Sonic Emporium
Theater Collectibles, Sheet Music, Recordings and More - $$$
At first glance, the merchandise and store layout look similar to that of a bookstore, but rather than exclusively selling the printed word, every item within is a contribution or artifact of the musical world. From sheet music books, to albums and recordings of all genres, to artbooks showcasing theater productions or even collectible props used in famous shows, the Sonic Emporium is geared towards music fans who are looking for just a little something extra tangible to celebrate what they normally only experience through sound. While some of the collectibles are truly one of the kind, the inventory refreshes often with new goodies as the shopkeepers constantly search for unique items to resell, so no two visits are the same.
The Celestial Temple of Taste
Food - £££
With classical high-class Bajoran architecture and leaning into rich religious themes, the Celestial Temple of Taste serves premium Bajoran food at a premium price. A seat here must be reserved in advance. It is known to be a popular destination for foreign dignitaries and public figures.
The restaurant is a franchise that is owned by the Batri Consortium, who also have stakes in agriculture, and mining, and own the baseball team, The Hedrikspool Hitters, who are typically third in the Bajoran Baseball League. Bajoran ambassadors on DS13 can often be seen visiting the restaurant.
Temporal Kneads
Massage and Wellness - ££
A discrete but popular massage and wellness suite, Temporal Kneads is famous for its slogan: “You’ll leave feeling like you skipped a whole duty shift.”
Founded by a Bajoran ex-Starfleet officer, LCDR Miala Thoren and run by Jem Yarl, a half-Bajoran half-Vulcan therapist, the parlour is often visited by stressed-out Starfleet personnel, freighter crews, and even visiting dignitaries.
Treatment at the parlour involves a mix of Vulcan neuro-pressure techniques and traditional Bajoran aromatic therapies. Therapy is done within private relaxing booths that change colours and sounds according to the patient’s stress profiles, which can range from rainfall in the forests of Denobula to the quiet hum of a warp core.
Appointments are often booked through the station’s wellness programme, or through Starfleet medical, but walk-ins are always welcomed.
