Coffee is a darker roasted style. Strong flavour. More classic Italian. Not my usual preference, but I needed it this morning. The person who is used to medium roast can sometimes misinterpret it as burnt.

I have had coffee here many times. I’ve generally always been at off-peak times when it’s quiet, but the staff have still not been friendly. The coffee is good, though.

The café with the best food in a 5 mile radius ... not an exaggeration! Everything I’ve ever had here has been 10/10 and made from scratch in an accessible yet still vibrant location. The coffees and smoothies are always amazing, and the Moroccan-style wrap I had will live in my dreams forever!!

The coffee was hot, which is key, I think. Happy service, nice menu but we went in to have a quick coffee and muffins.
