Amazing staff, delicious food, and fantastic coffee. I would highly recommend this place. We popped in as we were buying a car around the corner and waiting for it to be sorted. We got talking to the owner, he was an friendly down to earth guy. I just want to say thank you for the drinks, we are so grateful for your kindness.

Coffee OK - very very slow service though, 6 cups of coffee (4 for the person in front of me + mine) took almost 20 mins!

I ordered a flat white like I always do as I prefer a stronger coffee. It was nice no burnt taste at all. The barista that served me was very polite. She brought my coffee to my table and apologised for a little spillage that had been caught by saucer. Never a problem when it's simply because the cup was so full so I didn't mind. No half measures here.I found The Coffee Crate by chance. I passed a sign on the road and had to find this oddly placed cafe with an interesting name. I was expecting a small coffee vendor within a small converted shipping container. With this in mind I was pleasantly surprised to find multiple containers. One converted to seat at least 12 guests and another that The Coffee Crate barista prepares food and coffee.The seating area is converted to a high standard with plush pillows that cover the nice looking albeit a bit firm seats. There is a bench on one side as shown in my photo and I'm sure you could easily bring 5-6 friends here and have plenty of room left.Vegetarian options: The options look great and are reasonably priced. I will try the food here when I return with my partner.Dietary restrictions: I was asked if I wanted regular milk in my coffee as soon as I ordered it. Staff are on the ball.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for wheelchair access. Not too steep.

Found the staff to be very pleasant, helpful and attentive, initially only went for a coffee but seeing the food being brought out made my wife and I feel hungry. Quality of food was EXCELLENT and would have no hesitation in recommending to freinds and family.

Quick and friendly service. Nothing was too much for them. Great price too for the location. The lady serving us was also super friendly to my daughter. Would come again and try something else ☺️
