Lovely little coffee shop. Scandi with a modern feel. Its not only very quaint but has amazing tasting coffee - served in a stylish ceramic cup. Want to try somewhere new - I'd recommend you give it ago!

Really lovely and comfortable coffee shop. You can tell by the layout and even their Fringe merchandise that this place is thoughtful and intentional. I had a coffee in and one of the cinnamon rolls. The coffee was presented beautifully on a tray with a glass of water. They even included an information card about the type of coffee used. It was nice to learn more in a way that wasn’t intimidating. The staff were very kind and friendly. Even though the place was busy, I found a spot to sit and wasn’t overwhelmed by the noise. I think breaking the shop up with tiny walls helps. It’s very clean and well laid out with high tables, and built in seating too. Very visually interesting!
