Needed a coffee after the drive to York, spotted this Nice little independent coffee shop ( near Qpark Barbican )serving freshly made food & brownies. Quirky atmosphere and friendly staff. 👍🏻
Very friendly service and great place for a chill out. It is several days later but I am still thinking about the cheese on toast I had. Highly recommend.
Wow...... amazing.....polite and friendly employees, the atmosphere is very homely and interesting design......the coffee is incredibly tasty....I recommend it We came back. Amazing place! Great coffee, delicious and creative sandwiches, and the music is just perfect. Definitely coming back! Last time we were her 11 month ago
Excellent cafe. Real personality. Everything is done with charm and attention to detail. The quality of the coffee is exceptional. Nick, the owner, puts 110% into everything he does, and the results reflect this. I also attended one of his evening Italian nights. It was brilliant, food great and delicious. much better than going to an Italian restaurant. We were made to feel special.
Lovely little place, good selection of bagels, toasties, sweet treats and drinks. Offers vegan and gluten free options (including breads and bagels) and is dog friendly, they even have a dog gallery wall! Would recommend the cold brew nitro coffee with tonic and lime, never heard of it before and wasn’t sure how it would taste but it was fantastic! Reasonably priced and cozy!
