Comfy place to hang out with friends! I’ve been here three times already, just to enjoy the vibe and try the daily specialties. Never disappointed whenever I visit. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded, but it still feels calm and the service is quite fast. As a customer, I can say that all the drinks and specialty pastries are a must-try, they’re so good and reasonably priced! What I love the most is the interior design, so Instagrammable! The place isn’t big, but it’s unique and cozy.
We came for breakfast a few Sundays ago and it did not disappoint! I’ve been following them on Instagram since they opened, but not had the opportunity to visit! It was busy, but we got seats outside; although not outside as such, as it’s inside the arcade. The coffees and croissants were delicious!! The croissants are generously sized and tasted fab. Loved the crockery that they came in too!! There’s plenty of seats inside and in the lower floor. Looking forward to coming back again!
absolutely loved my visit! I ordered the Honeycomb Matcha, and it was genuinely amazing, the staff are lovely. I also tried a couple of their pastries, and they were really good.
I tried their specialties – the apple pie latte was a bit too sweet for my taste 🫢, while the beetroot latte was actually quite good. The coconut cookies were nice, but definitely pair better with a black coffee since they’re on the sweeter side. Nice place EXCELLENT service
Stunning cafe with a very calm atmosphere. The matcha latte was £4.40 and very delicious. Staff were also friendly and there is a spacious downstairs area too. Would recommend.
