A quiet corner upstairs

The service counter with staff working behind it

The room is small and calm, with a handful of tables and shelves of books on every side. People come to read, to work quietly, or to sit with a flat white and let the afternoon go by. Dogs are welcome.

Open every day of the week

Monday to Saturday we are here from 9am until 7pm, so there is time for a morning coffee before the shops fill up and time for one after work. Sundays are shorter: 11am to 5pm. Drop in whenever suits.
