Brilliant little café, with essentially the only indoor seating area. Would be nice if they had more tables and chairs as this place gets very busy but otherwise it's neat. Food and service is rather nice too. Everything is fresh, and the coffee isn't too bad. Hot chocolates are bomb however. Would recommend.

I come here often, especially when I'm on break since I also work in the centre. I've tried their coffees, iced latte, iced/hot chocolate and they have always been lovely. I always get the cappuccino and I have to say they are always consistent with taste. I've been to places where the coffee is not always the same, and some days it can just taste bad, not at the coffee tin though. Not only do they have lovely drinks but they have lovely staff, the staff are always nice and sweet and they recognise me now because I'm such a regular. I recently tried their chicken pesto sandwich and had it toasted, it was amazing and I highly recommend. It was very filling too, definitely worth the price! Overall a lovely place but I will say they need more seating areas. I understand they are limited with space but it would be nice if they could add more tables and chairs somehow and/or even rearrange the tables so it's not as cramped, especially when they are packed busy.
