The Steep Index
Solo-friendliness leads, thanks to a back room tucked away for reading, with the drinks and a warm, homey atmosphere right behind. The flat white was excellent and so was the glass of wine.

The Space
The back room is nicely tucked away, a perfect place for a solo traveler to chill out or catch up on some reading over a coffee or a glass of wine. The whole space is warm and welcoming.
The Pour
The flat white was excellent. In the evening we had two glasses of wine, the La Parra white, a blend of chardonnay and moscatel with ripe peach, apricot and green apple notes.
Homey, warm and welcoming, with staff who are lovely and attentive.
The Vibe
The place feels homey, and the staff are lovely and attentive. It is a wonderful coffee and wine bar, and a great place to go in the evening for a glass.
The Verdict
Come for the flat white in the day or the wine in the evening, and take the back room if you are on your own with a book. It is open until 8pm, and until 9pm from Thursday to Saturday.
