Such a lovely team of people working together to offer a real personalised experience. The Caprese and Tre Carni Focaccia sandwiches were the best sandwiches we’ve ever eaten. Iced coffee / milkshakes were excellent. The homemade cakes are being taken home to enjoy, but something tells me they will hit the right spot too

Probably the best brunch I have ever had, chose avocado and poached egg on toast with a chilli jam with a side of chips and a spiced pumpkin latte, daughter chose a special waffle. Perfect and without doubt would travel out of my way to return. If that wasn’t good enough I could of chosen at least four other things from the selection as all sounded amazing. Young folk serving, all with a great attitude.

Fantastic coffee and sandwich shop. Excellent value and service. After I ordered, they let me know they were out of one of the ingredients and were so apologetic and even offered to replace it with extra of something else or even a fried egg. When It arrived It was massive, especially for the price. All freshly made with are and tasty ingredients. It felt like a proper independent shop in the best way and I couldn't recommend it enough to anyone else to try.
