The barista is not really part of the experience here as he’s tucked away at the back, so there is no interaction with customers unless you make an effort.

There seems to be Wi-Fi and plenty of space to sit. You can easily find a spot to work without feeling rushed. There is ample parking and the plant nursery attached to it is also a nice plus, especially if you enjoy gardening – obviously!

I enjoyed a pleasant cappuccino. The coffee definitely punches through the milk, making it a little on the bitter side, possibly due to the milk being drawn from a volcano. Unsurprisingly,  the espresso was also a little on the bitter side.

There’s a wide range of food options, from breakfast to substantial lunches. Options include pizzas and baked goods like cakes and scones – so lots of choice where food is concerned, if a little pricey.

Overall, this was a pleasant experience. The playground is a great place for kids to be entertained while you relax.
