I ordered matcha for the first time and quickly realized it just wasn’t for me. I mentioned it to the staff, and they were incredibly kind and understanding — they happily swapped it out for another drink without any hassle. Amazing customer service and such a friendly team! Thank you for making my visit a great one even though my first choice didn’t work out. I’ll definitely be back!

Came across this place by accident and what a find! The coffee was lovely, the lemon doughnut was out of this world! Chilled out place with a great service. The barista is clearly passionate about drinks. The designs on the hot chocolate were fantastic! I can see why this has such great reviews! We'll be back! Thank you for just getting everything spot on!

I had the roast beef lunch. Perfect! Next time I'll check out the roast lamb. Both halal. My friends doesn't like the white chocolate matcha though. It tasted of milk mainly.

Brilliant location, lovely for a weekend breakfast. Staff behind the counter seemed fed up, and we visited only 30 mins after opening! The avocado florentine was delicious but the accompanying hollandaise was freezing, and tasted more like mayo. The presentation was lovely though. Also tried the cinnamon chai latte - again, great presentation but not impressed with taste.
