I love the atmosphere of this cafe. The rustic bakery feel with masses of delicious looking food on offer is very appealing. In fact I am glad I don’t review food as I am sure I’d have to sit here quite a bit longer, as the content of their cake display is looking at me.

But when it comes to coffee, this was always going to be a hard place to review, with one of my favourites right across the road, Mecca. So when I came in and saw a “single origin of the week” sign I was excited, until I asked where they source there coffee. “Toby’s” never really does much for me these days, but trying to keep an open mind I ordered an espresso anyway.

Compared to the normally burnt and over roasted Toby’s blend, this espresso looked great, but for a single origin (this one a Peruvian Fairtrade) it had no discernible aroma or flavour. It tasted like a nicely espressed, well presented, dull, stale flat coffee. I would still rate it above anything offered by the more industrial brands, but it didn’t really stand up and say hi.

So while if it is a coffee experience you are after I would still suggest you go across the road, if you are hungry, this place is certainly one you should check out.
