What people say
- People like:
- Friendly service, plant-filled atmosphere, coffee and food, especially the mushroom bowl.
Lovely space for a coffee shop. A true garden of sorts with carefully placed plants to elevate the atmosphere, it's easy to lose track of time and enjoy sitting there for some time. Food is reasonably tasty and appropriately priced for…
It’s a cute cafe with friendly staff and a great vibe. Coffee and food are good.
