Love the Oaty Goat. My go to coffee place. Excellent service. Good selection of drinks and food. Excellent allergy awareness. Good dairy and gluten free options. Love the tater tots!
OMG this has been my favourite place since it first opened, food and service always brilliant, however today's experience was not good, service terse verging on rude and very slow, even accounting for the rush. I ordered 2 drinks to-go, first drink appeared 15 minutes later due to the barista standing and talking to a regular customer instead of finishing the drink. They werent aware of a second drink, so I was told I had to wait. It arrived another 5/10 minutes later, drinks were cold by this time and I was left feeling quite disappointed.
Great cafe. Im hopefully moving into the area and popped for something to eat. I was so impressed I went in the next day as well. Good vibe. Friendly staff. Lovely food. Will definitely become my local when settled.
Cappuccino coffees, sausage bap and toast eaten in. Tasty bun, two slices of toast perhaps needs more butter and jam. Coffee nice and strong all delivered to your table after ordering. Lovely staff always friendly and informative. More of a coffee experience than the Costa opposite in the main precinct. Moderate noise for time of day at 1100 but it sure gets busy around this time. UPDATE: Shame really. Weeks on and a rare Sunday lunch time visit. Not as busy as we thought. Noticed that there was very few available cakes for sale as we entered. Tables available but the only 4 seater was still covered in left overs. Sat there a while and somebody came to remove plates etc. They didn't come back to clean the table however. Ended up cleaning it ourselves as it seemed that they were short staffed. Not to clean under the table either. Clods of earth everywhere. Lack of mature staff maybe, but when it comes to a Sunday it should have the same experience as a weekday. Coffee still nice though.
Great toasties, must be brushed with butter before toasting as a good crunch to them. Simple salad but the olive oil and balsamic upgrades it. Coffee milkshake also is good (not quite Josie’s level though), bit thicker would be better. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Price is good value
Just to be clear my scoring system: 1/ Don't go, just don't. 2/ I can't recommend going 3/ I enjoyed it but probably won't go back 4/ I enjoyed it, would go back especially if invited 5/ I enjoyed it, would invite others there myself We're very regular here. Can only score 5 stars as such! Great food and coffee and good value. Don't know why people would go to the Costa opposite to be honest!
Very pleasant experience, the coffee was strong and flavourful as I like it, excellent mocha and the Brie and bacon panini was oozing with cheese. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely go here again, what a lovely spot
Lovely place! Amazing cakes and coffee and a really friendly personal experience you don't get in Costa or Starbucks!
Such a great new place, it is great to have an excellent place for coffee that tastes good and not a chain. Certainly much needed and the quirky and warm and welcoming interior certainly adds to this place. The cakes look amazing, whilst I’ve not tried them I definitely need to go back to taste them ALL.
