Great food and great coffee! So hard to find a cosy and friendly cafe that’s hasn’t been overtaken by the hipsters.

The blonde barista absolutely knocked my coffee order out of the park. I know I have a particular order, as busy as she was, she politely catered and over delivered. The food was fast and fresh and the place was warm and cosy!
