Always busy, always quite a wait, always great coffee . Always worth the wait :-)

Good coffee but 30 cent charges on credit card purchases are ridiculous. Seriously get a proper efptos tablet like every other cafe

Uhmmmm... Nope! Coffee was just ok for me. I found it very average and nothing special. Definitely not worth the 10-15min wait. Maybe next time.
