i think this is somewhere to be if you are queer and wanting to feel like your hanging out at a friends place. The warmest atmosphere and the feeling like chatting to the stranger across from you is possible in a way that is very rare these days. coffees good too :)

Visited here today for the first time and was seriously impressed! It was pretty full but we were still given a warm welcome ( even tho we just went in cake and coffee). Coffee was lovely and their lemon cake was to die for. Relaxed atmosphere and modern decor. Will return 10/10
