Phenomenal food and the vibes were on point! I had the best mocha i think I’ve ever had. My missus and I split an amazing toastie. All the while accompanied by bubbly conversation and Fergus the friendly cat. Can’t wait to come back!

Hubby and I stumbled upon this little gem today (2/07/22) in search of coffee and hot chocolate. Added bonus was meeting Fergus the 13 year old cat who loves to sun-bake near the Cafe on his harness. Coffee was excellent and hubby said hot chocolate was the best he has ever had. Very inviting exterior and the lady who owns Mindful AF next door said the food is exceptional.
