Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Mango smoothie was almost entirely ice cream, a bit disappointing.

Amazing location. Hits the spot every time. I have been coming here nearly weekly for about a year. The food is always tasty and well priced. You will have to wait a little bit to be served when they are busy. So if you are the type of person who expects the staff to drop everything and race to the register, that won't happen. Be patient, they are professional and friendly and always have service with a smile. The cabinet always has a good selection of tasty smaller meals. The milkshakes are always very good. And if you are lucky you might see some coffee beans being freshly prepared in store! The back carpark is a nightmare. And I have seen a few small accidents (people reversing into other cars) so I recommend the parking at the front or on the street.

We just came into this store to get a coffee and some beans. I notice a fly in the display cabinet walking all over the food. I mentioned it to the clerk and she just nodded and went on her business. That’s just yuck I would not want to eat anything from there with hygiene standards like that. If it is persistent problem get new display cabinets but come on show a bit of effort. Other than that coffee is always great.
