Lovely coffee and a great selection of cakes! It was very busy but we were lucky enough to get the last table. Fantastic to see a local business thriving.

Lovely place and food. I'm still mystified why bagels are the only option. Unable to do bacon in a roll or panini. Odd! The food and coffee were good but curious menu options.
