Good coffee , great ambience, and an excellent soundtrack. Also, free (and good!) wifi . What more do you want?

The vegan sandwich is yummy and the café is quite cosy and cute . All the eggs are fried or scrambled, no poaching here.

Chris Haines

A cute little place with a quirky interior, you can draw on the walls. The staff are friendly and there's a downstairs area. Coffee is pretty decent here.

Darren Keene

Bright cafe with homemade meals, gluten free cookies and vegan cakes . Amazing coffee and friendly staff .

Lauren Keith

Shabby chic vegan cafe with wonderful wifi . Welcoming to all, which is great except if you want to work, as it fills with screaming children, grunting pugs and 'digital nomads' shouting into FaceTime.
