FWD offers a decent cup of coffee with a nice laid back, shabby-chic kind of atmosphere. The service is friendly and unobtrusive.

No real strong feelings on this one. No option of a V60, but the batch brew was ok. The only issue was a slight metallic taste, I would expect from cold metal components, but it was mid day and I didn't expect it with a batch brew.The atmosphere is lovely, it was chilled and there are some great sociable seating areas. It did start to get busy as I left, and started to get pretty loud. But it's inevitable when there is no sound deadening and it's 1.5 height room with exposed metal, brick and full height glass windows.

Fashionable coffee in a New York loft style location, on the edge of the market. Always has a few people with laptops working in the corner, no doubt enjoying the good coffee. The single espresso is bold and strong, served in a tiny thimble-like glass. I really quite like it that way! Staff seem friendly, and there are magazines to read if you are hanging around on your own, or comfy sofas to chat with a friend. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

The coffee is good no matter who makes it, staff are always friendly and cool music choices. Work here everyday of my life, nice and comfortable. Their air con has made the last 3 months bearable.

Great coffee place. Have all the milk alternatives along with some great coffee beans. They always say where the beans are from, and you can taste the amazing flavour in the coffee. Nice place to get some work done, read or if you are just looking to catchup with friends. They have some ready to go good as well, but obviously the coffee is what’s best here.

Fresh croissant available at 7am. Very tasty. Only cafe on this street opens from 7am. Convenient for early morning people. Great tasting coffee.

When Hansen’s MmmBop is playing when you walk in you know it’s going to be a good coffee shop. Ok not really. But this time it’s true.This place had been in my radar and I was pleased. Good coffee. Great croissant. Maybe it was just a frozen thing, I don’t know, but I got it freshly baked and it was delicious!Really great atmosphere and lively 90s music playing the whole time. I very much enjoyed the hour or two I spent here on their free Wi-Fi.10/10 would recommend.

Coffee was great. Ambience was perfect for a meeting of friends, to work, or read a book!

Really nice coffee shop to work from: it has a very nice atmosphere, multiple charging plug and free WiFi. Bonus, a lot of comfy seats.Downsides:1) the WiFi code expires every hour, so you have to log back with a new code everytime2) the main door has some type of defect and it doesn't close properly... So the place is actually as cold and windy as being outside!

This is our go to coffee place to work. They open late, very cosy. Staff are very nice. It is behind the main road, so not hugely crowded also. Would highly recommend it!
