Extremely cozy and rustic. Absolutely love the atmosphere here. Friendly girls behind the counter and the ice latte was amazing, especially on a sunny day.

Pleasant little cafe, with the emphasis on little, as it is tiny. Decor is funky but could use a bit of tweaking. Coffee was nice, about the same as most other cafes. Toasted sandwich was tasty - they have a very small menu. Altogether, a nice cafe but I would not rate them above others.

Really lovely little cafe with friendly staff, a relaxed atmosphere, and great coffee. Little bit of a wait but well worth it. Ramp access for takeaway, but I couldn't spot an accessible seating area for dine-in. Gluten free and vegan options were available.
