Very over-priced and customer service is hit and miss. I'd been in a few times previously , the first time I had a delicious salad box. Although this was pricey, it was a treat and was delicious. Since then however, it hasn't been as good and the staff can be quite stand-offish. The latest visit has put me off for good. I wanted a take-away lunch - they have two menus - one is a sandwich menu, the other is less clear. When I have ordered from the second menu previously I have received an open sandwich with a side salad - these are £6.50; pricey but tasty.

If you like espresso, my personal recommendation is ristretto which is a very short pulled drink. Less quantity than even an espresso and more condensed. Try the food while there. Lot's of home made and very...
Read moreI really really wanted to love toast but unfortunately had the worst experience I've ever had at a coffee shop here. The atmosphere is so lovely and cosy and food looks good. However, my initial coffee with oat milk split so the staff offered me another coffee so I just went with an Americano. The Americano was so sour and acrid so I added some of the left over oat milk to try and save it. This also split. When speaking to staff, I found the response incredibly rude and curt. It was suggested that this was my fault but if oat milk splits in coffee, the oat milk shouldn't be offered....
