I had an absolutely delightful experience at this coffee shop! The highlight of my visit was their ham and cheese sandwich—hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly toasted, with the cheese melting beautifully into the savory ham. Every bite was delicious and left me wanting more!
The customer service was just as impressive. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the whole atmosphere feel warm and relaxed. It’s clear they care about their customers and take pride in what they do.
Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area—especially for that ham and cheese sandwich!

Nice place, very friendly staff, very good coffee. Pity about the food, I've had their confectionery before (which is good when fresh) but not sandwiches. I ordered a chicken flatbread and thought it looked great. Large portion, plenty of chicken for my post gym protein. Turned out to be disgusting...the photo is what I did NOT eat! Chicken was worse than Subway. Rubbery, smelled awful and tasted worse. Stick to the pastries!!

Ordered 2 savoury croissants from here on Saturday, they were filled with chicken, mayo and spring onion - looked pretty appealing, it was a to-go order so didn’t see the preparation. When we got back to the car and unboxed these they had been toasted which of course had curdled the mayo… not the most appetising and unfortunately both had to be binned.
