I wondered in here after a busy splurge at Midnight Madness, and really enjoyed my stay. It’s filled with intriguing décor, super friendly service and delectable coffee. Even though they were pretty busy, the staff took the time to make us feel welcome. My Mom is a tin fiend, so you can imagine how excited she was to gawp over all the different tins they had on their shelves. I sat there and thought how nice it would be to have the stovetop espresso machine — it does make good coffee. There were also nice teapots, and a lovely smelling array of different flavoured teas for you to explore. I wasn’t particularly hungry, but there were plenty of tempting snacks floating around. I’ve made up my mind to come again sometime. These guys are great!

I come here all the time because I like the laid-back, friendly service, the good coffee, and the excellent food. I’m not much of a tea drinker but that really is the speciality here, and they even offer free sample of different, exotic teas to tempt you. The décor inside is so cute, they have heaps of tea and coffee accessories all over the walls, like stovetop espresso machines, teapots, cups, gorgeous little tins of all sizes and shapes for storing your purchases in, not to mention an impressive range of tea leaves and coffee beans that you can buy in quantities to suit. So it’s also an excellent place to buy presents too, because, unlike the odd sauces and endless balsamic vinegars we give and are given and never use, tea and coffee are the kind of presents that will be used and enjoyed. You have to try the cherry pie when you visit, it’s incredible. Also, the chef will happily make you up something if none of the counterfood is quite right(I always ask for some thing in a vegetarian version and they never mind).
