Found it accidentally, a nice local lady working close to them told me about them as i was kinda lost in the area :) Fab espresso, tasty coocked food. Safety measures on place. Friendly staff, reasonable price s. I took a look at some boards on the walls, looks like a place supporting charity causes, had a live music before the lockdown. Definitely will recommend it to my customers (i work in a hotel in Merchant city) and for sure be back again myself.

I visited with two friends on a Saturday night. It was really well serviced and all staff were very thorough and informative which made us all feel really safe! Hazel in particular was great - really friendly, great service and very clear on safe measures in place. The ordering through the app is a great addition. We will definitely be back!
