Good sandwiches, worth every penny
Good coffee drinks and good sandwiches. Definitely recommend
Asked for a cup of one. Barista refuses. It is literally 90 degrees. Heat exhaustion. It is not rude to ask for a cup of water on a hot summer day. Water is a human right.
Quick and good service every time I come in for a coffee. Today I ordered the Elgin sandwich. It is very tasty. Will be doing more business?

AWFUL service — two individuals who ordered after me received their coffee before I received mine? Thirty minutes for a latte, ridiculous.

Awful service. Waited 30 mins for iced latte. “You came in the busy hours” prepare yourself for the busiest hours then. Below average, time taking, ridiculously slow, not really good coffee……. Hope they could get better next time we came here, for now it’s awful!

Nice cafe with reasonable prices.We visited on a weekday morning about 10:30. It took 15 minutes for our basic coffee because they brewed a new pot. More than 30 minutes for our breakfast sandwiches. Staff was polite and helpful, but not especially chatty.Coffee is only medium roast; no dark roast available. Our breakfast sandwiches were hot and filling.Less Doctor Who memorabilia than I expected. Maybe they make room for more tables when it's still wintry. They do have fun new painting on soffit above the counter. And two TVs playing episodes with closed captions.

In the area and stopped in for a coffee and glad we did. Great coffee and great atmosphere with the Doctor Who themed interior. Very personable and friendly staff. (I think it was the owner) We'll be back when we're in that neck of the woods again.
