My order was a medium size beverage take-away. The coffee was relatively ok but I think this days if you're not making a disgusting coffee it's already a serious achievement. However, their take-away cups sizes is really a problem. The medium size cup looks like average small cup. The very next day I've got a medium size coffee from Z-station. The Z cup was bigger, it costed less and even tasted better.
KIrlll S0r0, 3 months agoThis is a great place for coffee. Thank you for using Alpro Coconut milk (the only brand for Coconut milk) and the coffee is deliciously made. Also the sweet chili and cream cheese scroll is excellent. Customer service is second to none.
Meghan Pinfold, 5 months agoFantastic service, food, presentation and coffee. The owners and the team are super friendly. The cappuccino is top tier. The hollandaise on the eggs benny was probably one of the best that I've had. Great cafe in Bishopdale!
