The Space
A small, quirky cafe with a couple of stools inside. The patio is where you want to be, as long as the weather behaves.
The Coffee
The latte was pretty good, with notes of brown sugar. The scone was crunchy outside and moist inside, and worth ordering with it.
Take the patio seat and stay for the people.
The Vibe
Cozy, with a counter crew who were convivial and served everything with a smile. I asked the barista about their beans and the blend behind the coffee drinks, and got a real answer.
The Verdict
Come to read a book, watch people go by or just enjoy the view. Prices are reasonable, but it is not a place to work, and it closes by 1pm most days.
