Indeed, this place is delicious.
I walked past this place a number of times and never thought I'd go in however a few positive comments on Twitter made me think I should give it a go.
Sure enough the do a nice coffee and their cupcakes are very good.
I've now been a number of times. The order is usually the same. Flat white, cupcake and babycino.
The flat white is more like a cappuccino but it is a very tasty coffee, good strong flavour. Nothing too spectacular, just decent coffee made well. It was exactly what I needed today actually. I needed a proper 'wake me up' coffee and this one did the trick.
The cupcake, banoffee on this occasion, was very good. I like the fact that the icing is icing, not that empty sugary frosting that you get on so many cupcakes that are appearing everywhere to take advantage of the cupcake craze.
I had to explain what I meant by babycino, which was fine because it seems to mean different things to different cafes. I suggested a bit of steamed milk with a little choc sprinkled on top served in a takeaway espresso cup.
Apart from the drinks and food being good, the service is always friendly and there is plenty of space for a pram along with a few good high chairs. Big windows make it a good spot for watching the world pass by.
The only drawback with this place is despite it being good for those with young children in many ways, there is a step up when getting in and the door is just a little heavy, so if you're on your own with a buggy it can be a little tricky to get in. Nothing a bit of practise won't fix though! Didn't check toilets/baby change facilities I'm sorry.
