The baristas were not accessible to customers so did not add to any vibe.

Otherwise, this was actually a vibey coffee shop with pleasant serving staff and simple but pleasantly contemporary décor. There is plenty of parking. That it’s joined to Blackwood Nursery is an added bonus if you are into both coffee and plants. The Wi-Fi wasn’t working when I was there so that was frustrating, but it’s an all too common problem these days with all our electricity woes.

There is a very good selection of cafe-style food which includes breakfasts and the likes of waffles and croissants, plus burgers and wraps, artisanal sandwiches, salad bowls, pizzas, and main meals which range from oxtail to pasta dishes. This is an impressive venue to eat and have decent coffee.
