Great coffee and atmosphere! A lovely, cozy coffee shop with a decent amount of seating and some larger conference tables in the back. Great character in design and staff, currently they have a pop-up thrift shop in the front. They have a wide selection of breakfast wraps and sandwiches; I would recommend the ham and cheese croissants which typically sell out by noon. They also have great cinnamon buns from Grounds for Coffee and now a selection of Neates doughnuts which complement their own offerings. Their lattes have great flavour, very smooth and with cute latte art. A little on the cooler side so better to have in, and I would recommend asking for it a little hotter if you are taking it to-go. The coffee is a nice smooth dark roast with no astringency, though again on the weaker side. The dark roast makes way for buttery and nutty flavours which is pleasant. There happened to be a a little bird who came and chatted to me, very friendly.
