If you have allergies AVOID! The cross contamination is awful here! Lady got all 3 orders wrong - she put ingredients in - took them out - put them in other people’s orders. Not enough cooked bacon so had refund. Asked for a well done egg - it was runny - Tried to eat it most went in the bin. Wont be returning

Lovely cafe with so many options and nice customer service as well. I usually love the sundriend tomato pesto pasta!! Its really amazing :)! Tried the smoothie for the first time and it was nice but could be a little cheaper. Having some student discounts could be even better since prices could be a little pricey. Would love to try some other ones in the future as well :)!

The staff members were also kind, friendly and helpful so we would definitely visit the place again!
