Customer Review Summary
Coffee from local roasters is what reviewers praise most, with the batch brew called outstanding and the flat white described as having rich aroma and flavour. Lattes draw praise too, including an oat chai latte and one latte called fabulous, and one reviewer notes there is no extra charge for non-dairy milk. Food comes close behind: a lemon drizzle cake one diner calls probably the best they have had, a vegan pecan cinnamon swirl described as addictingly good, and a curry toastie. The menu is predominantly vegetarian, with a wide range of vegan options. Reviewers describe the staff as friendly and welcoming, the service as quick, and the atmosphere as warm and community-oriented, and two mention a monthly book club. Seating is inside, outside and in a garden out the back, and one reviewer enjoys watching people and dogs pass by. One reviewer closes their account with the toastie arriving with two big gherkins.

“An absolute gem of a coffee house. If you're after community, friendly vibes, a quiet place to sit and read or a snug to watch the world go by, I'd highly recommend becoming a regular. Great location, lovely for sunny days and cosy for stormy afternoons. To add, they run a monthly bookclub which is such pleasure to have been even a brief part of. Grace is an excellent, welcoming host and it's perfect for meeting new people and getting to know the locals. And, yes, the coffee is 10/10.”

“I swung by before work and didn’t have much time, but I was really impressed. The staff were friendly, the service was quick, and the coffee was excellent. The shop had a lovely atmosphere, and everything was well presented. I’ll definitely be back when I have more time to relax and enjoy it.”

“One my new favorite coffee spots, they are extremely friendly and welcoming and not to mention they are a great example of a wholesome community driven cafe. Will and Ben not only served me but also introduced me to their book club which I would recommend more people investing their time in. I look forward in spending my Saturday mornings at such a cosy cafe.”
