I passed by this small cafe while at work, and since I had some time to spare and the weather was quite cold, I decided to go in for a coffee to warm up. Although the cafe is small, there are plenty of seats, and it has a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The staff was very polite and friendly, greeting each customer warmly. I ordered a mocha and a pain au chocolat. The food was nice, and the mocha, with its beautiful latte art, instantly lifted my spirits. However, I did notice that the lighting in the dining area was a bit dim. I look forward to trying more items from their menu next time!

Ordered a Flat white for my Mom and a pourover for myself. Probably at par with the best Red Brick Flat Whites i have had in London. The Barista also realised that i don’t drink espresso based beverages and offered to brew a pourover with the guest coffee from Nomad (Spain). Visited again after a week for a lovely Kenyan Espresso from the rotational guest roasters (Coffee collective from Denmark) Definitely a great coffee spot! On that note, Would be great to have a temp controlled kettle and ask the baristas to chat a bit more about coffees.

Great coffee, definitely one of the best if not possibly the best cafes in the area in terms of coffee quality, they often offer nice guest espresso and rotate pour over offerings which if your going at a less busy time I really recommend. The staff are all a delight and the vibes with the music are always there, if I didn't live so close and have my own coffee equipment I could probably financially justify visiting more often, ohh well... Haven't tried any of the food, or cocktail offerings yet, may add that review in the future 😉
