Very nice coffees! Cozy to sit in with a pleasant view outside. I'd highly recommend this independent coffee shop next to the malls. Staff is friendly.

Friendly and smiley staff in a sweet little cafe. They sell the work of various local artists inside the cafe. The locally produced sourdough toastie was lovely, fresh and the fillings were generous. There were plenty of veggie options available too. It was nice to be able to sit outside in the sun and rare for a cafe in Basingstoke town center.

The best coffee shop in Basingstoke city. Historic, communal serving superb coffee.

Lovely little coffe shop, we always prefer to go here then to one of the many chains. Normaly grt coffee and cake, treated our selves to some epic toasties after the park run yestersay

Best coffee in town centre, I wouldn’t go anywhere else! The cakes are always fresh and fluffy, I partially like the lemon muffins with lemon curd in the middle. It’s also such a lovely community space, with the handmade items from local craftspeople and leaflets for local groups and activities. Warm and inclusive space, the team there are always kind. I didn’t notice until I got home, but I got a lovely message on my cup - which was much needed on this wet miserable day!

Best coffee house in Basingstoke by a mile. Amazing cakes and sandwiches, coffee is incredibke and the staff/location are 2nd to none. Inclusive and neuro-spicy friendly! Amazing. 10/10

What can I say except I think I have found my new go-to coffee shop! The best coffee, great food all in a welcoming atmosphere. Even better - everything is affordable!

Passed by multiple times but never stopped. Today, despite the wind, I stopped and sat on the sunny terrace. Busy inside and out with nice atmosphere. Good cake selection including a courgette cake. Was not that adventurous on that day so ordered a lemon drizzle cake. It looked lovely and tasted really nice. Also ordered a black americano. Lovely coffee so must be using a good coffee bean brand. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. I will return and use the loyalty card that was offered to me, you get a free hot drink after few visits. Once the card is full, you will also get a chance to win the raffle. I just wish they were offering breakfast.
