I came in and ordered a take away latte, service was fine and the atmosphere was good. However the coffee wasn’t great and the size vs cost wasn’t worth it

A hidden gem. Great coffee, friendly service in a quirky environment. A great option when you need a pit stop

I just love this quirky, shabby chic little cafe nestled at the rear of a second hand shop in Stapleton. The coffee was delicious, served at just the right temperature for a chilly Winter’s morning and the staff were attentive and prompt. I highly recommend it for anyone passing through town seeking a comfortable place to break the journey with a great coffee.

Lovely little cafe at the back of the old wares shop. Our flat whites and long black were smooth and flavoursome. Food looked good although we didnt eat. Definitely worth a stop.

Coffee cold & weak. Their clipboard menu sheets were absolutely grotty! However the bacon & egg roll was ok
