• "The coffee was good with a rich deep flavour."

Cons:

• "The milk in coffees (flat white is the one i've tried, on multiple occasions) is consistently burnt."
• "Todays macchiato was a disgrace."

• "Couldn’t believe the staff here is so rude, I ordered a cup of Latte with my friend, only stayed for no more than 2 hours."
• "You may serve a decent cup of coffee, but disinterested and vaguely surly service coupled with forgotten and then incorrect order is hardly likely to get you a good review."
• "Staff was rude...needs training - not aware of the consumer rights at all."
• "So annoying that we were interrupted by this impolite staff. Is this about racism or something?"

Ambience and Decor

Pros:

• "Great decor, really detailed, cute and quirky!"
• "Really nice atmosphere and 'ye olde' meets hipster decor."
• "Best place for a laid back."
• "Lovely welcome by friendly staff...deco great and liked the lay out."
• "Wood panelled interior and a cosy atmosphere."
• "Really nice vibe, very cosy but quite busy."
• "It is such a cosy atmosphere, with dimmed lighting, fake fire and wood panels."

Cons:

• "Fairly typical decor and ambience like most coffee places, outside tables are rather in the hustle and bustle of the street and passing trams."
• "The area seems really loud, maybe some sort of sound proofing on the ceiling would make it more a comfortable place to relax."
• "It’s hot, too dark and very loud."
• "Lattes weren't served in glass, which just seemed odd for a cool looking coffee shop."
• "If I have one criticism is that their chosen lighting scheme always seems to make the place too dark, away from the window."
• "Not enough space to eat with comfort."
• "Unfortunately it was a little too busy when we arrived and so it was very cramped with little space to move to get to the table."

Accessibility and Convenience

Pros:

• "One of the best, affordable in terms of cost, local wonderful and very decent in terms of space, gem."
• "Three tables are accessible from the entrance without encountering stairs."
• "Having alternative milks be free is incredibly appreciated too."
• "Loads of seating (that gets v busy), nice vibe amongst the clientele."
• "It's really safe to visit with social distancing measures that are in place, stickers on the floor making it east to understand where you can stand/sit, seating outdoors and reduced seating indoors compared to before."
• "With background jazzy music and charging ports near most seats, this cafe is a great spot to study, play cards, or catch up with friends."
• "Excellent atmosphere. Rustic floorboards and tables. Convenient sockets in areas."

Cons:

• "I just wish they’d cover their sandwiches, cakes etc because every time I’ve been in there are flies everywhere."
• "Too crowded and I wish I'd been told there wasn't any tables before I'd ordered."
• "What I don’t like is no Amex being accepted!"
• "The pastries all looked bought in and not artisan which would of been a great addition to the coffee shop."
• "Struggled to find a table due to the amount of tables being occupied by people with laptops or books sat on their own with no drink or food."
• "This particular location is not wheelchair or pushchair accessible."
• "They don’t accept cash."

Food and Drink Options

Pros:

• "Went with a friend for coffee, saw a very delicious looking vegan wrap (I'm not a vegan) tried it and it was very delicious indeed."
• "The range of sandwiches, cakes and pastries were also impressive."
• "Food is always quirky and full of flavour."

Cons:

• "Really poor food these days and the service is the worst in the city."
• "Had a lack of savoury options if you have dairy or egg intolerance."
• "For a place that claims they do good coffee, I’d beg to differ...... Sausage and egg muffin delivered without the egg."
• "Sandwiches were left open on the side which was weird, didn't look appealing."
• "Breakfast food choices were limited but delicious (pastries and sausage/bacon muffins with or without egg)."
• "V20 was tepid at best and watery."
