Rob the owner welcomed us with a natural friendliness, service was excellent and the coffee, sweet treat and iced chocolate all just right. Everyone was having a good time and we enjoyed a great chat with some locals. The place is long and narrow with a choice of tables or booths. There is an option to sit outside sheltered by bistro blinds. Facilities were spotless and the vibe was so cosy and positive. It would be a place I will recommend to others and come back to anytime I am in the area. Thank you for a lovely hour to Rob and team.
