I love going to this cafe during my lunch breaks, it's in a very convenient location for me as I work just up the road from here. The staff are always very chatty and friendly and the food is very reasonable and very good quality. I absolutely love the smoothies, milkshakes, wraps and paninis! It is always prepared to a very high standard.
