We had a quick cappuccino whilst waiting for our daughter. The service was very friendly and speedy. The coffee was well presented but did have cocoa in the foam, which is not a traditional cappuccino. The cakes looked good.
A hidden gem 💎 in the heart of Knareborough. The pumpkin spice latte and the Marple latte had a velvet texture and you could understand the good quality of coffee. We also bought some coffee beans for home...we found our new coffee obsession ☺️ It is not an exaggeration to say it is one of the nicest coffee brews I have tried in the UK ...well done to these lovely young people who prepare coffee with ''meraki''( greek word for having love for what you are preparing)...I wish I lived closer to get my morning coffee from there everyday 😊
Fantastic coffee and service. One of the best coffee experiences I have had anywhere in the UK. Well sourced beans and expertly roasted results in a great product. I now use Happy Barista’s beans at home. Highly recommended.
One of the best coffee shops in the area. DO NOT miss it. 💯 Suggested.
Amazing coffee and delicious pastries! Tom and Rob are always so welcoming and friendly, a fab spot in Knaresborough! ✨
