★★★★★
Super friendly cafe with speciality hangover bagels. Recommended by my student daughter but great coffee, matcha things and other drinks. The bagels are excellent if a little difficult to eat due to being really well stacked. Great atmosphere and super super friendly staff. Love it!

The place is bright and welcoming… The staff were happy, friendly and helpful, talked us through some of the menu (this makes a huge difference to me). The drinks were excellent and delivered quickly… I would return for the pancakes alone!
