Excellent cappuccino!

taste

We'd highly recommend the buffalo cauliflower mac & cheese with roasted onions or the chick pea frittata with wood fired veg & focaccia. For something sweet their almond twists are hard to beat, as are their cardamon buns

selection

The menu here changes by the day and is both veggie and vegan friendly. Soups, pastries, pizzas, toasties, focaccia, curries, flatbreads and more there's something to fill up those tired legs. Finish off with one of their sweet cardamon buns
