Great little cafe in the busy streets of Croydon! Good food and good seating! A bit noisy for my liking but expect it during peak hours. Service was great

The staff were very accommodating and very friendly. We had a Biscoff latte and chai, which were both excellent. Due to allergies, we were worried we couldn’t have the blueberry bagel (because of the cream cheese), but they gave us so many options to substitute, which is very appreciated!

Came here on a whim and so glad we did. Service was prompt and friendly, the coffee was incredible and good was delicious. Couldn't ask for more! Probably only complaint was that it was a bit cold inside but hot coffee warmed us up.

My new favourite cafe, most amazing food, relaxed atmosphere. My only feedback is to please update your opening hours as we drove all the way with a big hungry family as you said you were open, only to find you closed. If you had a phone number we could have called to save the trip if nobody answered. Can't wait to return

It was good, though just short of great. The burger was real meat, the chips were well cooked. The salad said it had "roasted beetroot" when they were actually canned (and therefore picked). It gave the salad a more pickled flavor, taking over from the haloumi and roast pumpkin too much. I think menus should strive more for accuracy than flourish...
