I have a chance to stop here once every few months and what a treat. Always amazing! Fantastic coffee and sausage rolls. But this morning I was stunned by the chicken, leek and crème fraiche pie. Utterly unbelievable. Possibly my pie of the decade!

Was given a recommendation by a family member to try this place because the coffee was good. Not only was the coffee great, but the presentation of the food was fantastic and persuaded me to buy more there than just coffee. Coffee was great, and food was delicious. I'll be back.

Its not often i see a barista testing and cleaning methodically as they work ... this barista lady with silver-blonda hair and lovely smile, was absolutely onto it throughout all the coffees she was making! I knew it was gonna be an amazing coffee by watching her! Checked the grind, tasted a shot; brushed, cleaned and ground only what she was using for that handle of coffee..! What a pleasure to watch!!!!!!!!! So, 5/5 for the coffee... oh, and yes it did completely meet my expectations for flavour and milk, texture. And not a flippin thermostat in sight... yeahhhhh!!!!! I confess the cake wasnt quite up to snuff - but the coffee still makes the review a 5....
