Super friendly barista who offered me cold water with my coffee. The back area is quiet, without music and can be used for a private gathering also.

Shady and cool little cafe. Such a surprise to see a totally gluten free menu with delicious choices, buckwheat wraps. The staff were friendly, helpful and mindful of celiac needs. The food was great and plentiful, I took some away with me. Chai tea was good flavour. Ala in all a good experience

Got a buckwheat gluten free bacon and spinach crepe. Wow the serving size was huge! Got through it slowly. The coffee was great, with an outstanding chocolate twist to it.

Upon approaching this place I felt peaceful in a busy street. The coffee, I had was an espresso, it honestly had me thinking they added chocolate, but it was the natural flavours infused in the bean they use. Absolutely beautiful! The staff are happy, calm and really patient. Even offering suggestions that make you appreciate their work.

The food is really good and the staff are lovely. Most of the time the food is straight out but even when busy I have found only slight delays. Within about 15 minutes for anything on the menu. The staff always have a smile and look after the customer very well. Prices are very cheap for the size of the meals and being in the city I would expect higher pricing that what they charge. Would recommend to any and all.
