Sun Trap

4.0 out of 5.0

October 13, 2008

I don't usually come here for coffee, its not really on my usual route anywere and whilst the coffee is ok I wouldn't really call it a destination coffee spot like Taylor Street or Monmouth.

That said the coffee is alright and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I came here on a Saturday when the sun was super shining (god bless you global warming) and they have 2 benches out on the pavement. This place is an absolute sun trap from late morning until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon and the staff are happy for you to sit here for hours on just 1 coffee.
