Very nice place, had the earliest opening time in town hence our repeat patronage! Nice pastries and a small selection of food. Coffee was good. Staff were wonderful.

Coffee
One of the men working there is a very unpleasant man, on one occasion he started cursing at me for simply simply sitting outside, then i tried to be nice to him at the counter and he gave me a very dirty look, dont recommend if ur looking for a positive experience
Very comfortable coffee shop. Excellent service and reasonably priced.
