Hector LoThis cafe boasts truly outstanding coffee, rich and flavorful. The atmosphere is inviting and perfect for a relaxing break. Their pastries are equally impressive, freshly baked and delicious. I highly recommend the matcha and pistachio roll cake; it's a unique and delightful treat. You won't be disappointed with a visit to this charming spot.
Harman TamBrewblood is definitely the best coffee shop in town. The aroma and taste of coffee is really nice , we tried their handcrafted Yuzu coffee, it got different layers of flavour in different temperatures, it is one of the best coffee I’ve ever tried.And their matcha latte is rich and smooth. And of course I would recommend their cake roll too, pistachio one is really nice. We enjoyed a good afternoon with Elton and Olivia there. Definitely will visit again.
Robbo DGHonestly don't know what to say about this business... The owners are the most wonderful people, so passionate about what they do and so nice to speak to. The coffee is great, the food options are high quality, homemade, and delicious. These guys are artists. The espresso based drinks are great but it was a real pleasure to taste an expertly made drip coffee full of flavour. Also, the best Basque cheesecake I've had in the UK
Cheryl LiThird time here and it's still amazing! Great coffee, incredible cakes and lovely staff. Love that they're so good to dogs too. See you again soon!!!
