We popped in during our morning walk and were delighted: super friendly service, good brekky (egg omelette with spinach, ham and tomato on toast) and tasty coffee and chai. It was very peaceful and cozy inside and you can even read a book from their collection. And you cannot beat the price. Great job on training youth in this cozy little cafe
