Would have liked to sit outside smoke,& watch the world go by, but I will not drink my Espresso from paper cups. Apparently as a take-away cafe, tthey can't give me a ceramic cup. So I didn't 😤😤

We grabbed a coffee at the coffee shop and it was very good, I recommend the dirty chai!
It placed on a busy road with a lot of cars, if anyone is thinking about getting one to go, it is definitely a go. The staff was very friendly and nice :)!
