A very nice little place to get a coffee and sandwich. There is only some seating outside. Very nice woman was working here when we went in. Will definitely go back for one of their yummy sandwiches again

Great convenience food. No delivery which is a shame for local businesses further away than walking distance. Polish sausage sandwich is a must.
