I recently enjoyed a visit to Coffee Culture where I indulged in their Eggs Benedict bagel and a cappuccino. The staff were friendly, and the cafe had a wonderful ambiance. The Eggs Benedict bagel was a unique twist on a classic dish, and the cappuccino was very well made My Vegetarian sister enjoyed the pumpkin croquettes as well I highly recommend this spot for those looking for delicious food and a great atmosphere.

It was nice. Went to try the new chai latte recipe and approved ! Coffee was great too. Didn't eat on this occasion but intend to another time. Went again 3 weeks after the review above and coffee was very good again. Danish a tad firm but still tasty. Service better this time round too, which was really good to see.
