I went there on Tuesday for the first time. Nice little place. When it came to ordering the woman at the counter look at me as if I was an alien, making me feel uncomfortable. She took my order withou...t any enthusiasm as if she didn't want to be there. The coffee I ordered was laughable:2 sips of coffee in a oversized cup however the cake was delicious. I stayed there for 20mns and the other male assistant, in the shop who I presumed was the owner was nice and came to ask me if everything was okay which I appreciated. That was my first and last time in that coffee shop as I decided that I will never go back there again. That shop needs to train or replace the lady assistant or they will lose business. See More

Popped in for coffee and scrambled egg on toast this morning. Great coffee and perfect scrambled eggs. The atmosphere was very relaxed with friendly staff and good music that was not overpowering. Ano...ther jewel in North Camp, and its next door to Wood's butchers my favourite shop. See More

Well wouldn't you know it, "Coffee drinkers live longer - perhaps" according to this article....http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-40567047

To paraphrase one of our favourite Retro tunes from our daily playlist "Who are we to disagree?"

Coffee drinkers live longer - perhaps - BBC News
Each cup adds minutes to a person's lifespan if latest research is proved correct, say experts.
