Great coffee, much better than the others around that area. It is really a star which has been hidden here. Staff is friendly and the food is great too. Definitely recommend this lovely place.

I wanted something sweet and nothing heavy , when I came across this cafe. I ordered a hot chocolate as I wanted something nice and warm. I saw the muffins section and the apple & cinnamon muffin looked tempting. The service was pretty sweet. She even gave me a couple of marshmallows to pair up with my hot chocolate. It literally made my day. Would definitely come in again to get a taste of their food!

I get my coffee here every morning and am now disappointed if I have to travel for work and have to go a day without it. Always hot, always perfect, it has become my daily ritual. As someone who is chronically disorganized it’s great to be able to duck across the road and have a sandwich made fresh with all my fave fillings - their salad sandwiches take me straight back the epic salad rolls I used to buy at the school canteen.

Aesthetics make you feel like it is one of those cafes in an industrial estate, however I found the coffee really lovely and the food was super yummy and great value. The owner/manager is super lovely and adds to your experience of being there
