Claimed

Always such a a treat- great atmosphere to match the coffee and their veggie food is morish. Will be back gang

Asked if they had heyu app, sassy 20 something promptly advised me to just get their earlier to order? Umm excuse me, was a genuine question and no there won’t be a next time if she presumes to think I couldn’t wait for their over rated brew.

Went both a Myanmar cold brew and Costa Rican cold brew. Preferred the Costa, which was cleaner and displayed more acidity. Both were good

Kenyan washed espresso made me think of butterscotch and red apples - real tasty punchy shot. Natural Ethiopian batch was easy drinking.

Really enjoyed the natural Myanmar espresso, had less of the fermented flavour that Toby’s Estate Myanmar usually seem to have, was a more rounded caramel number. Natural Ethiopian batch - described as ‘cumquat juice’ - had a very tasty citrus sweetness

Espresso on a heavily citrus natural Ethiopian - big flavoured tasty cup Batch on a Nicaraguan was good. Cold brew especially moreish with some upfront fruit then more cola-like to finish

Espresso on a yellow honey processed Guat had a syrupy textures and slightly mixed up flavour ok but not amazing. Would love a teaspoon here to mix in the crema but suppose finger-mixing it is. Kenyan batch was good but another Kenyan as a cold brew was delicious - creamy mouthfeel, also nutty cola fruitiness (a lot going on)

Tasty Guatemalan for the espresso had a sweetish strawberry caramel vibe, went down well. Columbian washed for the batch was low-level blueberries, minimal acidity and finished cleanly.

What a great cup/s! Had the choice of a "winey and peanutty' Seasonal blend or a "soft floral and citrusy" Nicaragua. Both were delicious!

I've been here twice. The first time the coffee was about 8/10. This time the shot wasn't the best. However, these guys get top marks for being friendly and welcoming. I'd definitely go back.
