I had a decent coffee here. The staff were helpful and pleasant. I was correctly asked if I had a COVID-19 vaccination cert when I wanted to sit inside. The through draft between the front and the back entrances ensures that there is a high rate of air change and therefore makes this a very safe place to sit inside in terms of covid. What brought me here wasn't so much the coffee but my need for a toilet. The toilet was spotless and properly provisioned. This cafe is excellently situated, with an entrance from the Aldi car park as well as from the front terrace. It is the ideal pit stop for those doing a bit of shopping, or going to the nearby pharmacy or opticians.

I had the pleasure to try this place for the first time today. The café was quiet so I was serve very quickly and the staff was friendly and helpful. I had a quiche and a croissant, both VERY good ! I'll definitely come back for more. I also had a vanilla latte, that was delicious, but not hot enough for me (that's a personal preference) I recommend !

Stopped in by chance looking for somewhere else, but the staff were so friendly and helpful (and the food looked good) that I went back for lunch. The food was lovely and reasonably priced (toasted falafel wrap), an excellent take away flat white, and my 3 year old daughter was delighted with the cartoon face in her hot chocolate. The interior was bright and open, with outdoor seating available if dry. The space is wheelchair or buggy friendly. It's good food, great service, a fair price, and the pastries looked good too - I'll go back whenever I'm in the area.

At first glance you can already pinpoint the professionalism from the staff and their customer service. The selection for this coffee place is great, ranging from multiple choice coffees and frappes etc., I can’t allow the cleanliness to go unnoticed either, absolutely spotless. There‘s a relatively wide selection of seating, including both indoor and outdoor settings that perfectly captures a good summer morning. I would highly recommend this place to everyone!
