The service here is phenomenal! Shout out to the person with the bridge piercing they are top notch and clearly love what they do! Love the happy barista vibes, particularly at a coffee shop by a hospital - the positivity is needed and welcomed. They also make awesome coffee!

Just had the best fresh juice it was called immune booster and probably the best sausage roll I’ve ever had

I always like to arrive earlier so I can have a quick snack and a hot coffee. It's a must stop before going into the hospital. The staff are very professional, quick and friendly. I feel very relaxed and comfortable every time I go there and feel even better once I'm finished. I definitely recommend this place
