My Saturday morning ritual for the past two years — café latte and a croissant by the window. It's my happy place in this city. The vibe is genuinely calming.

The club sandwich is deceptively simple and perfect. Fresh ingredients, good bread, just the right amount of sauce. Exactly what you want for a quick, satisfying lunch.

Love this place but the WiFi needs serious attention. I've started bringing my mobile hotspot because the café WiFi drops every 20 minutes. Great for leisure, not for work.

Gets really slow service between 2 and 5pm. Food is great but on a Sunday afternoon you might wait 30+ minutes for your order.
