Quaint little place. Very cosy. Nice coffee and food seemed reasonably priced. Service would've got a 5 star if we didn't have to wait several minutes while the lady cleaned behind the counter. Perhaps she thought she was giving us time to think about the menu when we only wanted a hot drink each.

I love how the space feels personal: you can work here, catch up with a friend, or just sit and watch people go by. If you’re after the kind of coffee shop that feels like it was made for the locals (because it was), Coffee Very Local nails it.
