My favourite place to hang out by the river. The staff are delightful, the snacks are delish + they have the best selection of stationery goodies + books. It's a lovely place to become a local at.

Probably the best coffe I've had in years. Lovely staff. And definitely the best doughnut I've ever had. Cross between a croissant and a sugar doughnut. A great find.

My favourite place to get coffee and check out the books. The place makes you feel happy and warm 😊. The coffee and food is really good and i love the home made chocolate coated coffee beans.

I remember coming here a few years ago when i was on holidays and i can honestly say that this store is the inspiration for my dream to open my own book store. The atmosphere was very calming i spent at least an hour just searchinng through all the books and i haven't forgotten about my amazing experience. the people that worked there at the time were very helpful, im not sure how much has changed since they have turned into a cafe but i would definitely go back one day. great place. ❤

If you like books this is the place! I loved it here. Not only is the atmosphere really welcoming, cozy and comfortable, Natalie and Lucinda are great at recommending books. I'm still not done reading all they recommended, but I loved every book so far. Thanks so much - I would love to have a place like this nearby where I live :)
