Stopped for a quick and easy bite.
Good for some lunch!
Wanted a toaster and some soup but unfortunately they were all out of toasties so I got a vegan wrap from the fridge which they kindly heated and toasted for me which was lovely. They also only had one cup of soup left so myself and my two friends shared this. It was a fantastic pea soup that we all enjoyed.
Coffees were good too! Definitely not the best ever but this place isn’t a specialist coffee shop.
I would absolutely recommend if you wanted a soup and sandwich, salad, wrap or a nice treat like a scone with a cup of coffee/special tea/matcha

Have been here a few times for the toasted sandwiches and they never disappoint. I highly recommend the pastrami and the chicken stuffing - absolutely divine. The coffee is also of excellent quality. The staff are very attentive and friendly.

Not sure what’s happened to this coffee shop but service has gone way down, brought coffee to the table left waiting 30 minutes for the sandwich, young girl at till tried to persuade me I hadn’t ordered sandwich but receipt shows differently. Tables dirty and not being cleaned, not busy and staff just standing around. Very disappointing service
