We had lunch there two days ago, and i'm still raving about the five star experience all around. Beginning with the nice ambiance (all in beautiful wood, fresh flowers on the table, great music mixed by one of the owners himself) to the fantastic food (had bunny chow and carrot cake/dark chocolate brownie --> so YUM!) over the very reasonable pricing to the wonderful hosts. No doubt we will be back.

Visited this shop twice for coffee and had a chicken bunny chow on my second visit which was excellent. I had a great time chatting to the staff who seem to love their jobs. I would also rate the coffee highly.

Very cosy cafe with lovely staff. I didn’t know the sweet lady or the guy working there, but they were both so welcoming and friendly. Even though the place is small, the coffee was surprisingly better than most popular spots. Definitely recommend it!

Very good coffee, toasties, and music. A bit cramped because of the architecture but they make the most of it. It’s always a pleasure to interact with the owners. Interesting card and boardgames available.
