    Trendy new coffee shop and roastery serving excellent third wave coffee - flat whites, V60 filter, batch brew and more. High quality brunch, lunch and dinner, some with coffee favours :)

    I believe in people who roast their own coffee. Amazing specialty coffee. try the halloumi katsu & brioche with semolina custard! And if you’re in something new,try the espresso with tunic water. 100%

    Really nice place for solo coffee drinkers. Great spot for people watching. Nice staff. Matcha latte made with Oatly milk pictured here. Brunch menu looked tasty too so will have to come back.

    Vegetarian sandwich and a latte were worth the try! The only downside, is that they don't open in weekends!

    The Avobergine is a DELICIOUS veggie breakfast and my oat flat white was the most beautifully textured I’ve ever had! Great for working and for a hangover breakfast

    These guys are exceptionally knowledgable baristas. They roast all of their coffee in house. The pour over is amongst the best I've ever had.
