“We had an early morning tour, and this was one of the only places open before 8 am. We went as soon as they opened to order cake and coffee to go. The staff were also very accommodating and nice even early in the morning. The coffee we got was good, but I wish we had time to go back and try more of the coffee here. I highly recommend this place!” – Iestyn C.
