Friendly service in a good location. The flat white could be a bit stronger.

The staff are lovely! I feel like the prices are set to match competitive cafes in the area by being just a touch cheaper which I love! Living around the corner this is a place I want to come more often to and try more within the menu! I wished they evenly spread the sauce on the burger just to taste it every bite but otherwise, probably one of the best chicken burgers I’ve ever had!

The staff are so lovely and the burger I got was AMAZING. I didn’t order a drink with my meal and the staff even offered if I’d like a free one (I think she could tell I’m a student haha)
