Tier Achieved:
Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" β not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
FWD Coffee is your go-to for a solid caffeine fix with a side of cool vibes. The place has that trendy cafΓ© feel with big windows and cozy seating, perfect for catching up or getting some work done. The staff are friendly, and they whip up a mean flat white. Just donβt expect gourmet pastries β stick to the coffee and youβll be golden.
However, one unfortunate visit led to a not-so-great experience for a customer who encountered a less-than-enthusiastic barista. Itβs a hit-or-miss kind of place, so if you want reliable service, maybe pop in during busier hours when the team is on their A-game. Otherwise, just enjoy the good brews while you can.
"Big couches, big windows, big flavours."
"Nice cafΓ© in former pub."
"Lovely staff. Quiet with nice music."
