The young people who serve are not just polite but really care. They answer all questions carefully and that makes the experience even better. There is a lovely new soup everyday and I love the lentil one. If you are looking for coffee and a little snack look no further. There are hearty lunch sandwiches all made fresh and served with a smile. I love the avo tuna and the grilled cheese. I go here often armed with a book. I spend my time reading, writing and enjoying the warmth and the calm atmosphere. This is a place that ticks off many boxes whether you visit alone or with a friend. Enjoy! The owner is often there serving and chatting with all the patrons. Absolutely love it. If you have a sweet tooth, there are lovely Italian pastries to choose from. Yum!!!Wheelchair accessibility: Just roll in and the tables are low enough for comfort

They’ve got one of the best dark chocolate mochas in the city. You can work on your laptop here as they’ve got lots of wall outlets!

I got sick couple times and had a massive headache. I’m not sure if it was the acidity from the coffee, or if the milk was spoilt or the banana bread didn’t sit well with me, but I don’t see myself taking any chances again.I really hate to do this as I’m always on the lookout for new coffee places and this one seemed promising. For context, I drink coffee virtually everyday. Unfortunately, I don’t recommend this cafe.
