Been to this branch of Finks a couple times now, solo and with others. Really great coffee, and every sweet treat I have tried so far was exceptional. Sometimes a little tricky getting a seat, but I’ve never been queuing out the door. I like the small selection of produce that can be bought and have purchased cards from there which have been nice quality. I really wanna try the ice cream sandwiches when the weather improves, they look incredible. Staff can be (the times I’ve been there) a little aloof.

Came here for a quick brunch on my own while walking my friend's dog since I was dogsitting at hers for one weekend. The place is dog-friendly and the staff at the cashier was really nice. I got there around 11:30am and there was a queue with lots of people both sitting inside and outside although luckily I didn't have to queue long as lots of customers were only getting things to do. There were so many sweet options ranging from cake loaves to sandwiches and everything looked absolutely scrumptious. I decided to go with the pumpkin brown butter brioche bun and an oat flat white and I sat down inside since I was getting tired from carrying the dog in a puppy carrier bag. The flat white was really smooth although I would have wanted it stronger and richer. The brioche bun was really nice and big in size. The bread was fluffy and soft with a slight hint of cinnamon and sugar but couldn't really taste much pumpkin. I can imagine it being even tastier if it was re-heated in an air fryer or oven for a few minutes. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed my quick brunch there while doing some people-watching. I would love to come back soon and try other baked goods at the counter.
