Amazing atmosphere & excellent service! I went to this café with my laptop & had a great breakfast. The staff were friendly, & the coffee was really good. The only thing I'd say is the banana bread was a little moist. But, I'll definitely come back!

The premises is nice, but the coffee & service were very average. Served in a paper cup despite dining in. The service staff seemed hung over.
