The vibe of the cafe is great; the food is amazing, I had the croissant and a mocha, both were excellently presented and tasted amazing. Felt a friendly vibe from the cashier/barista, and felt welcomed to stay to read.

This cafe has become our favorite local cafe. The environment is warm and inviting, the staff are really welcoming and they have amazing food and consistently delicious coffee. We head there a few days a week on our morning rides for a coffee. They have an amazing selection of cabinet foods that a yummy to eat in or grab to grab on the go if you are in a rush. There is a full all day menu, milkshakes and real fruit ice creams for kids as well

I stopped by with a friend seeking for a warm coffee after the rain and even though they were about to close and the coffee machine was already clean the lovely lady made a nice coffee for us and we also tried an amazing bacon pinewheel.
