Popped in with some friends yesterday and was surpised by the amazing vibe. The cafe is tiny, but in a great way. The food was delicious as was the wide range of drinks and snacks. The staff were so friendly and attentive, making sure we were happy with dairy milk twice before making our latte to ensure we were happy. Music from the radio station was great and its hard to beleive youre in glasgow! A very chilled, fun vibe. It was very popular the whole time we were there but we didnt struggle to find seats for 4.
