Great coffee. Definitely worth a stop. Good banana bread too and a range of other pastries, sandwiches and drinks on offer. Hidden Gems for a pick up and go

I've only visited this café on Saturdays - it's always quite a long wait since there's only one assistant (who is the barista and cashier). Banana bread is yummy. Coffee was good. Convenient spot since there's no other quality cafés in the area.
