Customer Review Summary
Coffee is what reviewers praise most, with the flat white and cappuccino named as lovely and several calling the coffee excellent or great. Close behind are the staff, described as polite, friendly and nice, with one reviewer noting they serve at the table and keep the place tidy. The atmosphere is called perfect, cosy and friendly, and one reviewer likes the sockets for phones and laptops. The outdoor tables are mentioned, though one reviewer finds it a bit smokey because everything is open. Food draws mixed reactions. A vegetarian avocado panini was grilled perfectly and a filo snack was tasty, but a tuna panini was decent rather than the best. The chicken and avocado panini is the sharpest complaint. One reviewer called it a total disappointment, and another asked for cheese and avocado, waited ages, and received chicken and avocado that tasted bad. One also found service very slow. A reviewer who praised the coffee says better sandwiches would make it a great little cafe.
