I just wanted to comment on how amazing the service is here! The lady who served me was so bubbly and friendly, asked me how my day was going and packed my takeaway order perfectly for travelling! The service was fast and efficient, at an excellent standard! Coffee tasted delicious along with the sandwich I purchased. They were pretty busy, seemed they had just finished their lunch rush, yet they had so much enthusiasm when serving me. I was even offered a loyalty card which brings such great benefits! Thank you for the amazing service and delicious coffee/food! I will definitely be back!

Lots of options and lovely space to sit. It is right in the centre of the mall. Service is extraordinary. Don't miss to try their chai latte...
