This spot feels more like a coffee roastery than a café but don’t let that take away from anything. They have a massive variety of coffee on offer plus plenty of friendly and well-informed staff to tell you all about it. I quickly found out exactly where my coffee came from. Their cappuccino was nothing exceptional although above average for sure. But their espresso was out of this world – very fruity. I confess that I wanted another one but was scared I would vibrate out of the place! I happily went home with a bag of beans and would recommend everyone in the area getting their coffee essentials from there.
This café is tucked away on the side of the office block so it might be a little difficult for those who are not familiar with the neighbourhood to spot. There’s plenty of parking (for which you need to pay) and Wi-Fi as well as light meals if you’re peckish.
