"Popped in here by chance today after a meeting at a clients house and I left there not only cozied up by a lovely Mocha but one of the most gorgeous Tuna sourdough toasties I’ve had in my life. More importantly, had such a good vibe off Terri (sorry if spelt name wrong!), she was so warm and welcoming and we had a good chat whilst I was enjoying my purchases. What a wonderful lady, really made my day. I don’t think she really knew how much she made my day by just being a lovely/interesting person (i’d just had quite a rubbish morning) so just a million thank yous for not only having incredible food and drinks but well done on having 5* joyful staff. Really can make someone’s day very positive- Thank you x Alice x"
