Had a coffee and sandwich. The coffee was rich and smooth, exactly the way i asked the lady, while the sandwich was fresh, flavourful, and perfectly balanced. The bread was fresh and lightly toasted. Friendly service

Sharyn provides amazing customer service and always goes above and beyond. As someone with difficult dietary requirements she's always offering solutions she doesn't need to. Food is always well prepared, shop is clean, variety of hot and cold foods and coffee is to die for! I come here multiple times a week :)

I recently visited this charming little cafe that stole my heart—and my appetite. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm atmosphere and the friendly smiles of the lovely ladies who run the place. Their genuine hospitality made me feel right at home. Now, let’s talk about the focaccias. They were simply divine! Fresh and bursting with flavor, each bite was a delightful experience, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, offered to be toasted but i like mine fresh . I have to admit, it was so generous in size that I couldn’t finish it all—definitely a treat for the senses! If you’re looking for a cozy spot with delicious food and friendly faces, this cafe is a must-visit. I can’t wait to go back for another round of focaccia—and maybe some help finishing it this time!
