Looooove these guys so much! Friendly service and great wholesome food at a great price. My only advice would to be pick your timings when ordering as if it is busy there can be a delay. But the staff are lovely so all you need to do is ask :) There's not much atmosphere as it is in the middle of the mall, so no ambient lighting but the chairs are comfortable and theres plenty of space for wheelchairs/walkers.

I go here weekly and they always have the best service and prices compared to anywhere else at the mall. They’re kind, generous, and super friendly. They always give my daughter a marshmallow with my coffee even though we don’t order a fluffy. They’re also consistently good coffees unlike some of the other places at the mall I’ve tried.
