Part of the library service, accessible to all. Nice spot to enjoy a coffee and a tasty treat, off the tourist trail. Resident card holders receive 10% discount. Close by St John Central, ideal spot for students. If this review was helpful please give it a like below.

Good place to work with fast wifi, though not all tables have plugs. There's often children so it could get loud. Strong coffee.

I stopped off for a coffee and a sweet treat (flapjack). All the cakes etc. are home made and look delicious. The coffee and flapjack were excellent. £3 for a large Americano, which is very good value for money and cheaper than the well known national chains.
