We dropped in for a quick breakfast. The toasties were delicious as was the coffee. Rounded out with super friendly service and scrumptious cinnamon scroll!!! A cafe not to miss.

In the land of fabulous coffee shops , with great cakes and coffees [flat white for me ] . The third wheel is right up there there as our top coffee stop in 6 weeks .Wonderful staff and owners . That is some achievement . Pushed over the line by the amazing spinach muffins . God I loved them , can't get anything like that back in the UK , sad . So just a dream for me . But not for you if you visit them .

An alley-way coffee destination for coffee lovers. Quirky and vibrant.
The chef is also an artist, the walls are a bundle of fun
The food in the cabinet was beautiful.

Great coffee, staff were happy and helpful. Pity it was my last day as I would have used it every day although I was only there for 3 days.
