"Definitely the most student friendly, with a team of amiable staff who will accommodate groups of all sizes. It’s a personal post-swim recovery spot for my clan as we’ll often recharge here with their delicious array of homemade cakes. I highly rate the coffee here too - a good froth on the cappuccino, and they whip up a delightful hazelnut latte."
