FRESTONS

Frestons is the kind of place you might stumble into while looking for decent coffee, and you won’t walk out feeling like you’ve been robbed. Hygiene is top-notch, but you might feel like you’ve walked into an IKEA showroom rather than a cozy café. The menu is as varied as your typical chain, but there are some standouts, like the vegan cheese toastie that’s apparently ‘banging.’

The vibe is friendly enough, with baristas that know their stuff, but not everyone is sold. Some patrons feel the food doesn’t live up to the hype, and complaints about service can sting. If you need a decent spot for a laptop session or a quick coffee, you could do worse, but if you're looking for culinary fireworks, keep your expectations in check. ☕
