Amazing coffee shop with a wonderfully intimate and inviting vibe with an excellent, chill soundtrack. A place to stay and work for hours. Cheers!

Visited for a coffee stop whilst out sight seeing, the only disappointment is that some of the cakes are bought in from costco such as the muffins and cookies. Still the service was great and seemed very

Newly renovated with nice seating area upstairs. They also still have the downstairs seating area with study time package (if I’m not mistaken its for £5 with selection of tea or filter coffee). Always packed just as usual, and a decent latte.

Excellent spot for coffee in the morning Must try this coffee and get one of those pastries

I've been here a couple of times and enjoyed it! They have plenty of fun syrups to choose from. The inside is very cozy for a chat, especially the downstairs area. The location is right by the university which is nice! The bagels leave something to be desired, but I'm a big fan of their lattes and tea. Will be back!

I wanted so badly to like this place, I have come a few times and the atmosphere is incredible. But the latte I had was so milky I could barely taste the coffee and I tried the hot chocolate which was sooo milky and all at the bottom in a sludge. The staff the last three times I have visited have been weirdly passive aggressive, maybe it's because they are busy, but still - they are generally very impatient with customers. The last time I ordered a latte and they spent 5 minutes chatting by the machines while I waited before actually starting to make the coffee. I think the appeal of this place is the atmosphere, but for the price the drinks are nothing special and the staff seem pretty moody.

Very nice café to study and/or chill with your friends. I personally spent some time here studying, and it was a very pleasant experience. The staff was also super nice and the atmosphere was cozy and comfortable.I enjoyed several pots of tea, a ciabatta and muffins whilst here and it was all gorgeous!The place has a lot of young people and tend to be rather popular meaning it can be busy at times during the day.Their internet was a bit unstable and you need to get passwords that will expire within 2 hours which I found to be quite annoying, but only because I would spend hours there.

Went for a business meeting and had trouble finding our way in due to extensive works on the main entrance upstairs. When we did get in staff were pleasant but the upstairs seating was mostly high stools and there are steep steps to the basement area. Though it looked ok the seats were very hard and uncomfortable especially when sitting for a while.

Quite quiet self-service cafe where you can refuel and have a piping hot latte. The coffee is average and prices adjusted to the area.

Very rude. I don't recommend.

Smells very bad , and the staff is one of the worse i have ever seen. They refused to give us drinks 1 hour before closing time. They didn't even care about us when we entered. They let us wait like 10 minutes .

Gone downhill recently, coffee is unpredictable and occasionally awful. New Wifi no longer works on certain devices (this may not be the coffee shops fault). Very expensive for a completey fine coffee shop.

Best to chill and also cosy to hangout alone. May not be the place for a meeting call ?
