A mate and i decided to meet at the coffee shop. It was around 3:45 pm on a Wednesday. They still served coffee. it was really good and not too expensive either. For a short black and a cappuccino, it was $4.90 and to drink inside too! They also have a good food menu and do catering. They have a loyalty card for takeaway coffees but they still gave us two stamps. Yippee!
