  “Coffee is decent here but the food is actually a bit pricey considering. Staff can be slow at times but always friendly.”

  “A relaxed venue to get my head down and work with a supply of good coffee and cake. Does mixing with uni students make you more intelligent? That was my plan!”

  “Great place to grab a quick coffee when working 24/7 on your course work. I've used the space over 50 times and haven't once had a negative experience.”

  “16/10/18 Unimpressed. I usually enjoy this cafe - the drinks are cheap for students, and exactly what you'd expect. However, today I was very unimpressed. I was excited to see a 2-for-1 deal on hot drinks. As there was no limitation written on this sign, I would have been happy to order two large drinks, but apparently this deal only applies to regular drinks - fair enough, but it should have been stated on the sign. Additionally, to make use of the student discount here, you have to scan your student card - again, this is fair enough. However, the till screen is in easy sight, and your full name and account details pop up on the screen when you scan the card. I personally do not want everyone in the cafe to see my details. When I tried to leave the cafe, the staff insisted that I put plastic lids onto my drinks and wouldn't let me leave until I did. I find this unacceptable as someone who wants to cutdown on plastic use, at a university that is highly conscious of marine conservation. I am very upset that my plastic-free cafe experience suddenly became plastic-full.”
