Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise the friendly staff and the coffee, with several singling out a takeaway oat latte that arrives hot and well shaken, and a Honey and Lavender Iced Matcha seasonal special described as sweet and floral. Close behind is the family-friendly setup: free colouring, puzzles, board games and pottery painting for a fee, which one parent says could fill a good few hours with a child. Smoothies, lunch options, cakes and bakes also come up, and a few describe the drinks selection as reasonably priced, with student discounts mentioned. The one lukewarm note comes from a reviewer who found an acai smoothie not the best and the staff alright but not the friendliest, a contrast to the otherwise warm descriptions of service. Several mention coming back repeatedly, and one says the server let them smell the syrup before choosing a drink.

    “Had an acai smoothy. Not the best one though. The place looks pretty and clean. Staff was alright but not the friendliest either.”

    “Really lovely cafe. 2nd time here with my son. There is loads of free colour, puzzles and games. You can pay to do pottery painting too! You could stay here for a good few hours!. Amazing selection of drinks and really reasonably priced (on par if not cheaper than a lot of coffee chains and much better selection here!). I hope it does well as it’s a really lovely addition to the area! :)”
