    MY NEW FAVE COFFEE PLACE: Imaginative coffee menu and great service. Also can't go wrong with an all-day-brekkie menu, the pulled pork eggs bene was beautifully presented and a decent portion. Initially my coffee order was served incorrectly, but the staff were exceedingly apologetic about it and made the mixed up orders again at no charge which is phenomenal service.
