  • Live Vinyl DJ Sets

    A dedicated setup featuring vinyl decks and live DJs brings dynamic musical energy and funky beats to weekend cafe visits.

    There's a dj on vinyl decks, the indoor seating in the back is cultivated so it's moody.

  • In-Venue Record Corner

    Guests can browse a dedicated in-house vinyl record section at the back of the cafe while enjoying their drinks.

    The atmosphere is great inside and it has a very unique record section at the back.

  • Cozy Catchups and Life Admin

    Intimate couch and seating corners provide a warm, comfortable backdrop for casual catchups and quiet personal time.

    The indoor seating area is so cosy for a small (2-3 person) catchup or just to sit and do some life admin.

  • Smores Cookie

    I also loved their smores cookie - it was crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. It was also massive (bigger than my hand!).
