Arrived just before closing time and happy we decided to race over for a coffee before they closed. Nice big shop with lots of offerings but more importantly amazing coffee. We got a cappuccino & oat flat white and both were good. We unfortunately did get the chance to try any of their deli items as they were cleaning up for the day. They do have a lot of offerings like fresh cheeses, curies meats, locally made granola and lots of retail items. Nice place and if you have time to enjoy lunch there I think it would be a good treat. They also have about 5 tables outside which is nice. There are big umbrellas too so you don’t have to worry about sunburn.
