    A nice little cafe, the staff are incrediblely friendly and nice and the service is fast. I tried their iced coffee and lemon slice and it's quite nice individually having decent prices. The customers and regulars are on the elderly side so it gets nice and quiet inside. It's pretty new and overall it's a nice place to hangout if you want a bit of peace and quiet.
