Great modern space, super friendly owners, excellent coffee and a small selection of things to eat like homemade turnovers. Would highly recommend the avocado toast. There is also special kid-sized window seating along the front for great people-watching. A good pre or post library stop, as it is right near the library's lesser-know laneway access.
