"A GREAT FIND FOR A RELAXING MEAL"
"Tucked away in a competitive café area, this popular spot might look unassuming from the outside, but once inside, you'll discover its spacious interior. There's even a lovely terrace at the back with cozy seating. The coffee and food here are of high quality and focus on healthy options. 5 stars!"

“Visited for a weekday breakfast and service was warm, friendly and attentive. We sat in the courtyard which was lovely and tranquil. The orange juice was freshly squeezed and the food (mushroom with polenta and oat granola) was delicious and just the right size. Would happily come back to the cafe.”
