Inside, a long display counter showcases daily fresh bakes alongside an open kitchen, keeping the seating intimate and cosy. Window seats are particularly sought after for their relaxed ambiance.

The grilled cheese with tomato soup is a crowd favourite, while the chicken pesto sandwich inspires near-cult loyalty. Coffee is taken seriously here, with single origin options and a well-regarded house blend.

Standouts from the menu include the Orange Black: an espresso-based citrus drink that retains true coffee character, and the Coconut Black: for something more adventurous. Matcha drinkers are equally well served, with a cold matcha strawberry latte and matcha burnt cheesecake drawing repeat orders. WiFi and charging plugs are available throughout.
