CoffeeFriendly staff
Ordered a banana bread slice and such a disappointment to see this being served. Barely can hold it, how in the world this person serves with zero conscious..
We were a group of 14 and they were so accommodating and helpful. Service was great 10/10 and the coffee and sandwhiches were too! Thanks so much
