The Muffins are delicious. I'm always stopping in for a muffin especially the Choc Chip one. Can't get enough. The service is great, the staff are all very kind even when they are busy. The man that works there is very attentive when it gets busy. Definitely have a returning customer.

Service was really great, the lady was patient and gave me some other things. The muffin I tried was not my type but just trying some new varieties of muffins. The price was worth it though. Best cafe to go to price, taste, and service wise. Highly recommend the double chocolate muffin, I grew up eating those :)
