Long overdue that we had this in the park but finally a fantastic coffee van. Quality coffee made to perfection and service with a friendly smile (even on a freezing cold day). The pain au chocolate are perfectly baked and tasty. Love the free dog treats and conveniently placed water bowls.

This is a wonderful little coffee van right in the centre of the park with toilets nearby. The expertly crafted hand whisked matcha latte was just what we wanted and we were taught the art of the Japanese Matcha ceremony too. The barista was super smiley and friendly. The cakes looked amazing although we didn't try them. Well worth a visit.
