"The customer service was amazing and I also had the best coffee ever invented. The atmosphere in the shop was cosy. It felt like I was apart of a big family even though there was strangers around me. An employee by the name of Tyrone has given me astonishing customer service and I have gained a new friendship with him."

"I had such a lovely experience in this black sheep coffee. The drinks are always really well made, good value and it’s my favourite place to study in. I was served by Marta today and she was very lovely :)"

"A brilliant chain coffee shop located in the centre of town, providing ample seating and space for those who remote work. The coffee is (in my opinion) superb. There are plenty of options for drinks and food on the menu. However, I would say the food is not quite as good as the coffee. Highly recommended for those wanting to grab a drink in a trendy, relaxed environment."

"I stared visiting this place more often recently. The coffee and other drinks are really good. The iced strawberry matcha latte and iced blueberry matcha latte are to die for. I tried the green smoothie as it was on 50% off and I really liked it too. Pistachio iced latte was just ok. I had a cheese toastie the other day and I didn’t really liked it. The service is ok, I didn’t really interact with them as I always order on the screen or preorder on my app. The place is usually busy, but there is plenty of space to sit. Perfect place to come and chill or work, what most ppl do. It’s very nice inside with all the paintings looks very cool and cozy. The sofas are comfortable. It’s a bit pricey tho, I guess like almost everywhere those days."

"Every time I visit, I’m always greeted with a warm welcome. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and efficient. Even when the café is really busy, the wait for coffee is never long. Victoria is always especially kind, helpful, and smiling she truly makes every visit a pleasant experience. When I come with my kids, the staff are so nice and engaging with them patient and understanding, even when my little ones keep asking for things. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the coffee is consistently great. It’s one of those places that makes you feel genuinely cared for every time you stop by.."
