Solid coffee here and really good quick food. Close to or maybe the best muffin I have had from a cafe anyway. Light texture and with real flavour. Brioche breakfast roll was great also but maybe a little small, probably because it was so delicious. Great friendly staff on the day I visited.

Many times I've ordered coffees and foods here, not only for myself but also for some clients who come for some meetings at our offices around. Generally, I order around 8-8.30am for '10' coffees and some foods for picking up at 9-9.30am or 12pm. Every time the order is ready to picking up. Coffees and foods are very good! All sandwiches/salads are cooked the same morning! The team is really nice and respectful. I recommend.
