We choose to eat in off the brunch menu, we had previously been in for coffee and the tasty smoothies. The service was great as usual, and the food was delicious. Its a really cool atmosphere relaxed and easy with 2 small children. Thanks again

This place used to be my go-to cafe in the mornings. The atmosphere is so peaceful, the staff are polite and welcoming, and their coffee always tastes great (added bonus for looking like a work of art every single time). I no longer live close by, but I will make a point of going here whenever I'm in the area, as it's definitely worth the time spent.

Generally a great experience here but my coffee was not very strong on the occasion :( Its a quirky place that’s pretty busy & the food selection is pretty good. My son inhaled his hot chocolate & enjoyed the bonus of a wee chocolate. It’s a bit if a rabbit hole to find the toilets but they are there!

It's a great cafe. The staffs are all friendly. the coffee is of high quality and they can often be seen reviewing the coffee. You can see the kitchen is clean. I'll be here more often.

Best cinnamon roll I've ever had in my whole life. Coffee was perfect. I drink a soy coffee and have been struggling to find a cafe that consistently gets it right. I've been to other stores from this franchise and have had great experiences as well. Can't go wrong!

Have been coming here now as a local for a year, maybe more. The staff are hands down some of the most lovely people I have met, always greeted with kindness and a smile and always got a treat ready for my dog too. The food is great and the atmosphere is lovely, my go to place for a great cup of coffee and some lunch. Thanks for the great service team! Koko says thanks for the treats too!
