CoffeeFriendly staffAtmosphere
We stumbled up this adorable dog friendly cafe. Nice cozy atmosphere with table, chairs, and a little hidden outdoor area outback! The 2 staff were very kind and helpful with questions. We had a nice relaxing bite to eat and of course a great coffee. We ate the chicken/Tarragon and the spinach/feta pasties. Both were delicious!
One of the worst “ cheese and ham toasty” ive ever had!
It was completely greasy and the cheese wasn’t even melted with the tiniest amount of ham! Pathetic!
It wasn’t even worth complaining about! Il Just never go back!
It’s not acceptable and it’s downright cheeky when it’s like 10e!
Also to echo what others are saying! The male staff are really cold and weird! Seems like a very depressing environment to work in!
It’s coming across like they
are closing down and don’t
care about their reputation!
Shame because it has a nice decor!
