Coffee and drinks
Coffee drinkers are split. One visitor found the espresso rich and well balanced, while another thought the coffee was fine but not special. Hot chocolate also comes up in two reviews, so it's worth trying alongside a coffee.
Catering and meal prep
The business also offers event catering with menus customised to the event's theme, size and dietary needs. A mobile coffee van and street food service can be delivered on location. A private chef named Jen prepares custom menus for dietary needs and made-to-order meal preps for pick-up from the cafe. Contact is by phone.
