Absolutely awesome place. Great friendly service, superb coffee, excellent fresh Almond croissant and a lovely atmosphere with music just loud enough in the background. Wish I could visit more often.

Really nice coffee. Food is average I don't find anything special in the food. Also the presentation of the food when you eat in is very simple, good be better. Nice service from the girls at the bar.

I arrived at 6:25am knowing the place wasn’t open but desperately needing a hot coffee on a miserable cold morning.To my delight the lovely lady assured me they were open and invited me in and proceeded to make me a fantastic coffee to set me up to face my day. Thank you!
