Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Loved the coffee. There’s also a good selection of sandwiches where they can toast it for you"
"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."

"Popped in for coffee. Busy location on the main road. Plenty of seating and friendly staff. One multi use toilet which was clean but could do with an upgrade."
"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."
