Im the owner serves great coffee and is always really welcoming. We usually have a chat while he makes me coffee. It's nice to not have to walk all the way to Westfield for a good cuppa

Tried the hot chocolate with oat milk. Really yummy. Not sure which brand of chocolate powder he used but it was definitely up there with the best I’ve had. Will come back to try the food as well. Super friendly service too. And for those who require it .. the chicken is halal : )
