We ordered Mediterranean chicken sandwich, cinnamon twist, chai latte, morning bun, rhubarb turnover, capuchino, croissant, pain au chocolate and matcha with oat milk. Everything we tried was amazing, the place is very tidy and modern, and the staff were very friendly.

CoffeeTasty foodFriendly staff
We knew we hit the jackpot when we saw the queue out the door. The pastries are beautiful, especially the Raspberry Danish. The staff were lovely and the coffee was delicious. We grabbed a sourdough special on the way out the door.
Shopfront very understated- we nearly didn’t find it. Nice upbeat feel to it though. Sourdough bread and pastries real good! Good selection of delicious tea and coffee. Organised and friendly. I recommend.
