There wasn't any music when I came in, I don't know whether it's usually this way but it stuck out to me a bit. Otherwise lovely mango and pineapple smoothie and delicious panini. Really nice

We went there for a late lunch around 3pm today. I had a bbq chicken crepe and my partner had a jacket potato. The food was delicious and the portion was so generous! It would be better if the jacket potato was warmer though. But we were very happy! I also loved the mango&papaya&pineapple smoothie

Coffee and food is completely fine, honest is the right word, with fair pricing too. Only reason why i cant rate it 5 stars is that the atmosphere resembles the café equivalent of retirement home… But if you arent stuck-up like me then you will probably be happy with coming here.
