My dad and I are stopping here in Armidale from Canberra for a few days, and it's my first time in this town, so we came here for a quick brekkie, the service for orders was unbelievably fast, and caught me off guard, the team was really friendly and the food was really nice, though when I got my mocha it didn't taste like one, more like a regular flat white that I made during my coffee program, also the froth was bubbly and foamy... but the atmosphere was amazing! I have anxiety issues and it triggers when there's too much loud noise, but when I was here I felt so comfortable! I'll definitely come again if I get the chance!

First time in cafe. Were ’served’ by 3 different people but then we got to meet them all! Very welcoming staff. Music was a little loud and had to talk over it then it was switched off completely, prefer a little background noise so to keep conversations to ourselves! Food came out so fast we were shocked! Amazing. Losing a star for no vegan options on menu or sweets available. But I’m sure they would accommodate if needed? Will ask next time!
