Cozy corner cafe with both indoor and outdoor seating. Food tastes great and coffee is excellent. Would recommend the chicken avocado focaccia and almond croissant - really good. Everything is very reasonably priced. The staff are nice and friendly.

My daily escape from the everyday boring work from home. Brilliant coffee, consistent taste and mind blowing service. Go all in for their food items. This lovely guy "Ivan" will impress you with the brekkie and other delicious, hot and fresh food menu. Go for the "Chicken Avocado"! Love the staff out there, they're the best !
