“ Dropped in a couple of times during week. Despite being busy in there the staff were very friendly and helpful. Drinks and food was bought to the table by staff which was unexpected but very handy. Very clean. The hot drinks were actually hot and the muffins were great. Would very much recommend. ”
“ The staff here are great. As soon as any of them saw empty cups and plates, they were quickly clearing them up. They were also very helpful, unlocking the disabled toilet when required. The service was quick, courteous, and came with a smile. The coffee was lush, the perfect ratio of coffee to oat milk. Next time we're there, we'll try the food. ”
