"Nice cafe, the place is clean and tons of people are coming in the morning to take their drinks and leave. The music is chill and nice, I order Italian cream puff and iced pistachio latte. The latte was delicious with their seasonal topping while the cream puff was okay. I got bothered by how hard the bread was to cut through and that's all."

"There about 830 am today (fri 26th Apr). Lots of space in the morning to eat, drink and tables good for laptop work..Staff are welcoming and friendly with excellent customer service. Coffees always good. Very nice lattes. So nice today I stayed for second. Today I had a porridge and coffee and when my discount app wasn't working properly they went out of their way to offer to manually discount anyway. I didn't ask! Great customer service."
