Regular coffee stop which never disappoints. Great coffee and banana bread. Service is always friendly. The position is in a busy spot and not really a place to sit and relax, great for a quick stop.

I have been to this cafe multiple times with my family. Loved their menu which comes with a variety of vegetarian options. Apart from my flat white with some requested customisation (which they happily accommodate), one of my other favourites is their nacho bowl which is a flavorful Tex-Mex delight. If you are not in the mood for a coffee then don't miss their juices with a pinch of ginger which are perfect refreshment. The convenience of being right next to the grocery store makes it even better with plenty of comfortable seating space. A must-visit for tasty, healthy options!
