A small kiosk with surprisingly good coffee! I really enjoyed my cup—much better than you’d expect from a place like this. If you’re visiting Clifton Bridge, it’s a perfect little stop for a quick break and a nice view.

A very convenient cafe just right off Clifton Suspension Bridge. Love the iced coffee selection and they have a great choice of ice cream. The staff are very friendly and warm, something that all food outlets need to have as the customers will have a pleasant experience. Highly recommended!

Discovered this coffee snack kiosk at the Wilderness Festival. Hot chocolate is to die for. Not fancy, no squirty cream, no marshmallows, just liquid chocolate as it should be and tasted divine. Great service and great taste. A constant long queue at the festival, which says I am not the only person to appreciate great coffee, hot chocolate and snacks.

Lovely spot for a coffee on a sunny day. Guy who owns it was lovely and such a crack. My girlfriend and I ordered Matcha’s and they were nice but could have done with a little bit of a whisk due to lumps of the powder at the bottom.

The google reviewers did not disappoint. Thank-you. The most yummy flat white I've had in ages.
