Absolutely delicious coffee and tasty cookies. The boy who works here - Joe I think - brings the perfect vibe. Nice and chatty with some great stories about his adventures in Madagaskar! There’s few people who can inspire us to travel to some remote places, but he convinced us. Maybe he can convince you too! Ask him about his adventures on the bananaboat, you’ve never heard a story like this! The cookies he baked were yummy and we are very happy to come back again when he’s working!
