My new favourite cafe! Menu has some different dishes to the norm. Amazing veggie and vegan selection. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

This place has a lovely vibe, the staff is very friendly, and the food is amazing. I see some reviewers complaining about the cost of certain drinks, but it's got to be said, that in this place you pay for quality, good service and a space which you can occupy for a good few hours to study/relax. Also, not sure if this is still going, but they would do a lot of pop up events supporting the local art scene.

Feel very lucky to have chosen this place for lunch. Beautiful interior, great service, amazing quality food (with loads of veggie/vegan choice), a great cup of coffee, and decent value. Looks like there's loads going on here too. Would happily go back and highly recommended.

We just walked by and decided to pop in. Seasonal soup, today mushrooms and thyme, and HQ sandwich a large pot of earl gray filled us and gave us lovely experience. I definitely recommend the place!

My friend and I had a lovely meal here today! I opted for the breakfast, eggs florentine, which was really nice! My friend had the falafel bowl. Plenty of seating, lovely staff and a nice outdoor area for dry days! I really liked the space here, it's very welcoming. Tea is great too!
